Crystal Mountain Ski Resort

Happy New Year Everyone! Sorry for this late post, I've been busy with unpacking our stuff in our new house and with the recent holidays activities.

So, I posted our first road trip in Washington, it was in Dec. 27, 2010 we went to Crystal Mountain Resort to go snowboarding. I didn't get to snow board this time but I will ;-) once we go back to that lovely place (I think I'm missing Misawa, Japan now and I really need to play in the snow hehehe).

Crystal Mountain is the largest ski resort in Washington state, it is located in the Mount Baker- Snoqualmie National Forest. It's about an hour and a half drive from our house.

The chair lift fees:

adult (18-69)- $65
senior(70+)- $40 (wow, their lucky if they can still ski or snowboard hehehe)
youth- (11-17)- $60
child- (0-10)- free

We are scheduled to go back there at the end of this month, so excited to snowboard again. Yipee!

    Was also looking at your previous entry - from the warmth of Hawaii to the freezing slopes of this resort in Washington, that's quite a contrast. Which one do you prefer?

    dong ho- you should come and visit the US and try both, skiing and snowboarding, it's fun!

    bertN- how about you? have you tried snowboarding when you were younger? hehehe

    nomadic- yes, you're correct it's quite a contrast hehehe, I love Hawaii! a lot of American would love to see and visit Hawaii and so I'm lucky to experience and live in paradise hehehe...Washington is always gloomy now I'm lacking vitamin D hehehe, no sun here!

    I'm glad you didn't over compensate on your pictures. The snow is white, like it should be, not off white.

    love this set. Northern Japan is the best.
