This prohibition includes drones for filming or videotaping, as well as any use by media or journalists operating above Crystal Mountain property. Please contact Joe Bolduc, Director of Risk Management and Resort Safety 231-378-2258 if you have any questions or if you seek prior approval to operate any aerial drones.

Crystal Mountain prohibits firearms on resort premises, including associated garages and parking lots. Employees and others who enter resort premises with firearms in their possession, regardless of whether or not they are licensed or permitted by law to carry such firearms, concealed or otherwise, are in violation of this policy.

Crystal Mountain is aware that some jurisdictions allow qualifying citizens to obtain permits to carry concealed weapons, including handguns, on public property, except where expressly prohibited. These permits, however, do not automatically confer the right to carry concealed weapons on private property. The sole exception is for law enforcement officers whose official duties require carrying firearms.

Employees and others who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary action up to an including separation from the resort. Others who are found violating this policy will be directed to leave property at once and will be arrested by the police for criminal trespass if they refuse to do so.
