Very nice resort with a lot of great runs for all levels, and some great backcountry skiing. Food at the lodges is very good, and lifts are fast. Can get very crowded around lunch time in the lodges/lifts.

When snow conditions are good, and visibility is also good, Crystal Mountain is indeed a really good mountain. There is a lot of bowl and glade terrain to take advantage of. On a clear day the views are spectacular, and it is well worth trying to get a table at the Summit House restaurant with views of Mt Rainier. It is also really worth taking the Gondola to the top on those days.

There is one rental shop at the base to rent equipment, and an adjacent boot fitter and where you can rent high end demo skis. There is one retail shop where you can get some additional gear. Not much else at the base area other than the main lodge.

There are limited accommodations and dining facilities at the base.

Lots of varied terrain, but quickly tracked out and long lines on weekends. Like many areas, their description of conditions tends to be overly optimistic--two feet of new powder ends up being a few inches on most of the mountain. Like most northwest skiing, conditions can vary widely on the mountain depending upon exposure and what has been hardened by the sun/freezing. The new north country area opens up some good expert terrain, but all funnels into what quickly become icy bumps at the bottom. All-in-all the best that the Seattle area has to offer.
