With more than 100 acres of skiable terrain and plenty of amenities, it’s no wonder Crystal Mountain in Michigan is one of the most popular ski resorts in the state. The family-owned resort has been a favorite year-round destination for countless families ever since it opened in 1956, and during the winter, it becomes a top ski destination. It’s so popular, in fact, that Santa himself visits Crystal Mountain to hit the slopes before he takes off on his famous Christmas Eve world tour.
Crystal Mountain is a wonderful attraction year-round, but during the winter, it’s a top spot to hit the slopes.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, Crystal Mountain offers both downhill and cross-country skiing, as well as classes, competitions, and more.
Santa himself carves out time in his busy schedule to hit the slopes every Christmas Eve, and you might just find yourself sharing a lift with the jolly fellow!
Skiiers young and old will enjoy this special moment, that’s for sure. After you’ve skied with Santa, warm up by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate or head into one of the restaurants to enjoy a hot meal.
Visit Crystal Mountain’s website for more information, including a full events calendar of all their upcoming holiday events. And don’t forget to give them a follow on Facebook so you can stay up to date on snow reports. Don’t let the holiday season pass you by without checking out some of the best Christmas lights in Michigan.
