Report for December 7, 2025

FIRST SUNDAY OF THE SEASON

TODAY: Ski & Ride for BACN! We're teaming up with Benzie Area Christian Neighbors (BACN) and donating a portion of our lift ticket sales for their non-profit. Buy an open-to-close lift ticket on Sunday and $5 will be donated to BACN.

Lift hours: Buck Quad, Loki Quad, and both the Short and Long Learning Carpets spin 9am - 4:30pm.

Open Slopes: Cheers to Lou, Giggles, Tuck's, Jester's Alley, Emmy, Interlochen Arts Ave, Huggy Bear Hollow and the Learning Area.

Slopes are open 9am – 4:30pm Sunday, December 7. Slopes are CLOSED Monday, December 8 through Thursday, December 11 while snowmaking continues. Weather permitting, slopes will open for daily operations Friday, December 12 at 9am.

A clipper system delivered fresh snow overnight and conditions this opening weekend are fantastic. Crystal Mountain has received a foot and a half of natural snowfall this past week and we have taken advantage of every snowmaking opportunity.
