Crystal Mountain Offers All Season Affordable Fun in Michigan
Many ski areas in the midwest are solely a winter operation, that isn't the case for Crystal Mountain. Located just south-west of Traverse City with 59 runs and over 100 acres of ski terrain, and offer two 4-star Golf Digest courses plus a spa that has been ranked in Spas of America’s Top 100 list. Don't sleep on visiting - Crystal Mountain has made a name for themselves as an affordable midwest destination resort all while being a committed "family-first resort that's grown humbly into a world-class four-season resort” a proud statement front and center on their website.
Prices in the West have made it difficult for many to experience slope side lodging and a week of skiing and riding but Crystal Mountain has been making that a possibility by offering many package deals for lodging plus weekly discount days for lift tickets and deals for local families on snow days. The Crystal Flex lift ticket option can be used by individuals or families to purchase multiple lift tickets but not lock into specific dates they must be used. This is a fantastic option, especially given the variability in winters we have been having.
The resort also features 3 terrain parks and 7 glade areas that give skiers and riders the feeling of being at a western resort. In addition to the expansive variety of ski terrain Crystal Mountain offers plenty of activities for non-skiers to take advantage of winter - snowshoeing, horse drawn surrey rides, cross country skiing, and outdoor laser tag just to name a few. We'd be remiss if we didn't also mention their great line up of live music which takes place year round at the Slopeside Tent and Vista Lounge! Be sure to check out all their winter offerings as well as their long list of summer fun which includes an alpine slide, archery, and rock climbing wall on their website to start planning your trip.
