Crystal is the most beautiful resort you can be at during a sunny winter day, even if those are a little rare in WA. Views from the top of Rainier, Helens, Adams and Hood on a clear day.
A lot of the runs are wide open, so good for beginners to take up room but the east side has a lot of more technical off piste riding that is amazing when the snow is good!
They are in the process of ramping up their accomodations and food scene, which is great in some ways but it will probably mean a little less of the remote vibe that can be found.
Prepare to pay and reserve parking on the weekends too! And leave earlier than you think, cuz there will definitely be a lot of traffic on an even moderately good day.
