Crystal Mountain Becomes Alterra

**Buster Highmen** · 10-19-2018, 12:31 PM

I know that some sort of appeal was filed regarding the East Peak Chair immediately after alt 6 of the MDP was accepted.

**Rock Knocker** · 10-19-2018, 12:43 PM

At the Founders Club, John Kircher spoke of the fact that Alterra was interested in installing some via ferreta routes. Oh boy, that'll financially insulate a company from the blob

The solution to the mountain bike transportation problem is obvious: just build some paved trails from the top and open them to road bikes

I mean, it *would* best suit their clientele...

As for all the digs at WV, I'd like to remind y'all that "Deliverance" is set in Georgia. So shove it up your coal hole, will ya? Or I guess if you're in Enumclaw, find a horse to shove it for you

How much were day tickets last year?

Ah, the variable day rate!

So... window rates on "peak" days will be $88 + tax, so $95/day for any Fri/Sat/Sun between December 22 and March 3.

Off-peak online tix around $50 sounds cool.

I think they were $84 for an adult. So not much of a change. Seattle is spoiled for day ticket pricing, so they can't just raise the price to the normal $120+ in one year without serious sticker shock from clientele.

Im guessing those $50 tix are for the days when half the mountain is open or early season only GV is running.

Exactly. Sounds cool but it's gotta be the for the fringes of operations.

or when the Umbrella isn't up.

I don't recall them advertising those before. But yep probably.

Variable pricing....

Subject to change without prior notification and other assorted fine print

**PNWbrit** · 08-19-2019, 12:10 PM

Presume Alterra are funding all that capital investment from parking permit price increases.... some lube would have been nice though.

How much are they charging? Are you guaranteed a spot, or is it just the ability to park in A lot if there are spaces?

They just bumped them by ~50%

Last year they opened up whole of A lot after 11AM.

It doesn't guarantee a spot.

Don't know anything about Crystal but at schmebins kicking the lot guy nuggage seems to reserve a spot for a friend of mine every time. [emoji2369]
