At Crystal Mountain, we’re big and we’re bold (but we also play nice with beginners). The largest ski area in Washington featuring a total of 2,600 acres (2,300 lift serviced acres) and over 50 named runs is an easy drive from anywhere in the Puget Sound. Make Crystal your mountain this winter!
The key word at Crystal Mountain is variety “2,600 acres of just what you want when you want it” from gentle cruising groomers to challenging steeps and backcountry adventure. To give you the most for your money, Boyne has invested millions in top-of-the-line lifts, lodges, restaurants and grooming machines. Two six-person lifts and two high-speed quads ensure you’ll spend less time resting and more time enjoying the slopes.
