Time to give thanks: the big hits of natural snow and cold temps—perfect for snowmaking—means Crystal Mountain is opening its slopes on Thanksgiving Day (9am-4:30pm).
Crystal’s earliest opening day in three years will see skiers and riders cruising down at least four slopes. (The total number of open slopes hinges on snowmaking conditions in the coming days.) To celebrate the season opener, Crystal is offering special holiday rates on Thanksgiving and all weekend long.
