May we suggest a little on-mountain adventure with our Alpine Snow Shoe Tours or High Adventure Guided Mountain Tours. Let our guides take you to explore the secret side of this amazing mountain—off the beaten path.
Ready to step right into a true winter wonderland? Join us for a snowshoe tour through Crystal Mountain’s beautiful Alpine Wilderness.
We begin our 2 1/2-hour tour by riding up the Quicksilver chairlift to the base of the beautiful South Backcountry. We frolic around Lower Henskin Lake and head to Upper Henskin Lake where we rest at the Leaning Tree Lounge to hydrate and fuel up with a nutritious snack. We then depart the backcountry by snowshoeing down the slopes all the way to the base area lodge for an incredible Cheese Fondue Dinner with salad and dessert.
