Crystal Mountain reopens for spring skiing after months-long closure



The calendar says June, but Crystal Mountain resort wants you to think about snow.

The popular ski destination, closed for months due to the coronavirus pandemic, is reopening for two weeks of spring skiing from June 1 - June 14.

You have to make an online reservation, and there are several new protocols in place in response to Covid-19.

From their website:


    There are also numerous guidelines for visitors to stay safe from Covid-19.

    Crystal still has decent amounts of snow on parts of the mountain. By mid-June, not only will most of the good snow be gone, interest tends to fade away in summer months.

    Only the the Palmer Glacier at Timberline on Oregon's Mt. Hood typically stays open all summer long. That's where the U.S. ski team trains.
