"We love coming up to Crystal and staying in the condos. Plus we get to use the outdoor spa, indoor pool, plus other amenities. We had a 2 room 2 bath unit. Exceptional. Staff is always friendly. We come off season as I skied when I was younger. Love the resort. We found a Crystal gem feet from the deck of the condo. Someone sliced it off the Tee."

"Snow was great the weekend we were there. Pool seemed a bit over chlorinated. A really beautiful place to be in the wintertime. Friendly staff, it is starting to get pretty pricey to get a family of 4 there for a three day weekend."

"December 23rd-26th visit. Ski. Lodging at the Inn. 2 adults. Phenomenal. Everything exceeded our expectations. Prices are not "tourists" prices. We WILL be planning a whole family visit. We chose to visit before Christmas. Prices everywhere increase dramatically the day after Christmas. We purchased 2 day lift tickets and 2 day ski rentals and that was cheaper. The chili: Very good here. At the Lodge and the Wild Tomato. The Lodge serves there's very hot (temperature) I personally preferred this...."

"Great resort! I’m a novice skier, and I was having trouble with my boots hurting after just walking in them. Louis saw me struggling and helped me right away by suggesting rear entry boots instead. He helped me exchange my boots and got me set up with the perfect rental pair! This made my time so much more enjoyable and painless! Thank you Louis!"

"Just got home from a stay feb 22-25. It was great. The facility is a little ski village that does not disappoint. I stayed with a total of 3 adults 1 child and 2 dogs. They are very dog friendly. The constant fresh snow was amazing, but that was the weather. Will be back."
