More than 4,000 skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes at Crystal today for the opening day of the new Northway lift. Twin brothers Lance and Loren Petkovich were the first two to ride the new lift.
“The new lift really spreads skier traffic out and makes the mountain feel twice as big,” resort spokeswoman Tiana Enger said.
Crystal plans to be fully operational for the rest of the weekend and holiday week ahead with all 10 lifts in operation from 9am-4pm. Over 50 inches of snow has fallen this past week making for excellent conditions on the ski slopes.
Crystal plans to add a new lift in Bullion Basin next summer.
