I have heard from an Xtal employee that Xtal will be back to unlimited days on the Ikon pass for the 2024-2025 season.

Crystal Mountain will begin offering direct to lift access with new RFID technology at all major lifts.
Crystal Mountain will open a new Midway Yurt, featuring grab and go snacks, drinks, and retail.
Halle-fucking-lujahQuote:

Looks like they got their first dusting at the summit this morning. Stoke is building feeling the air get cold/wet in the city the past couple of weeks.
Sorry this is the anti-stoke, I.e. "Alterra is a piece of crap, but not quite as bad as Vail" thread.Quote:

Also nice (ironic) picture on the article. I guess it's within 1,000 miles of Denver...

Christ help us.
This was always the path for Crystal. The influx of population and expendable income into the Seattle metro area just made it too tasty to pass up.
Crystal is also in desperate need for more Blue Groomer terrain to cater to that target audience. [emoji6]
Hopefully that was generated using AI.
I was going to ask why you were boycotting Alterra this year...I get itQuote:

Apparently even Crystal management has realized that the size of the new base lodge is undersized. Therefore the tent has been slightly relocated uphill. It feels good to spend $1900 on a season ticket and then get sit at a picnic table in a tent for lunch. Plus Alterra has hinted that they might do something to improve the skiing experience... Maybe some time in the future.Quote:

It's almost as if the corporate jackoffs from Denver don't know what NW skiers care about.
More like corporate jackoffs from the East who moved to Denver.Quote:

That press release reeks of pre-IPO positioning/peacocking.
