Crystal Mountain is the largest ski area in Washington with a total of 2,600 acres and over 50 named runs! We are more than a ... winter playground – we do summers too! This Northwest jewel, which first opened in 1962, is located on the Northeast corner of Mt. Rainier National park. The sprawling expanse of the ski terrain flows over half a dozen peaks and basins and lends itself to seemingly limitless variations. Experience breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier and the Cascade range from the top of the new gondola and Summit House restaurant; a place you can enjoy fresh Northwest cuisine and relax and reflect in the majesty of the towering peaks and sweeping views.
