11 inches of fresh snow has fallen since Saturday and temperatures allowed us to fire up the snow guns! Stay tuned for more information about opening day.

What’s new this year? Crystal Mountain’s downhill trail count increases to 58 with the addition of new terrain and a triple chairlift in ‘The Backyard.’ The new ski and snowboard complex will feature a mix of beginner (green), intermediate (blue) and glades runs that take advantage of the natural banks, rises and rollers. A grand opening ceremony is planned for December 18 but skiing and riding will begin as soon as conditions permit – the resort also added six snowmaking machines and nearly one mile of pipe to its snowmaking system as part of this expansion.
