 Goski.com Michigan - Crystal Mountain
Crystal Mountain first began as nothing more than a community ski area with two rope tows and a warming hut but today it is a full service, year-round resort with 34 alpine trails, 8 lifts and 40+ km of cross country ski trails, 36 holes of golf and 15 miles of bike trails.

Like most places in Michigan, one can have fun and be impressed with Crystal as long as the conditions are good and the expectations are not too high.
