Activities List

May we suggest a little on-mountain adventure with our breathtaking Guided Mountain or Snow Shoe Tours. Let our guides take you to explore the secret side of this amazing mountain--off the beaten path.

Guided Mountain Tours

New to Crystal Mountain? Or looking to expand your knowledge of the mountain’s terrain? Experience our world-class mountain with off-piste access by hiring a Mountain Guide to show you the way and teach you how to travel safely in the backcountry (and discover new powder stashes).

We offer personalized guiding services for advanced skiers and riders who wish to discover untracked slopes, secret runs, and the best snow conditions Crystal Mountain has to offer. The experience can be custom designed for touring, hiking, snow science, mountaineering, and downhill riding--whatever you prefer.

We pride our selves on safe skiing and traveling skills, education, long runs, and the best snow in the Northwest. Our staff is skilled at the art of guiding and teaching. If you wish to learn more, consider attending one of the Backcountry Camps.
