Crystal Park

What do you mean? They already took care of it... by taking over management of Snoqualmie. You won't see them putting in a park any time in the foreseeable future, no matter who the owners are. However, they did do some work on the halfpipe over the summer, but who knows what that means.
 
exactly

problem: Crystal was losing customers to snoqualmie because of their lack of park.

solution: Crystal bought Snoqualmie, now it doesn't matter if they lose customers to themselves.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Crystal (Boyne) just managing the summit now? I don't know how that plays into the customer base, but just wondering.

By the way, the secret Crystal park is allways an option if you know where to look.
 
The people that own Sno/Loon is CNL. They don't know/don't care about running a mountain, so they leave that to Boyne and Booth Creek. I'm not sure why they ended Booth's management of Sno though, because they still have them running Tahoe. Anyway, Boyne certainly takes a percentage, so it doesn't matter what mountain the customer chooses.
 
For the years this has been in existance, its a wonder why more people don't take advantage of it. They complain and complain about there being no park, when all along there IS one right under their noses. come on kids, get with it. the secret park is where its at.
 
Obviously those who choose not to ride the secret park clearly aren't interested in progressing the sport....sheesh
 


or you could secretly pay freeskier buttloads of cash to "rank" your park one of the top ten in NA and totally just... be lame

i dont know why i even said that since it has nothing to do with anything

the industry is gay at times

especially at crystal. but who cares about that place?

 
So basically I went down to hood this summer, we ran into this chick that my friend knew when he was in CMAC (Crystal Mountain Alpine Club). She had moved to Utah and was there stay at the Huck with her ski team Rowmark. Anyways she was going out with this kid named "Andrew Kircher", so I asked him if his dad owned Crystal Mountain and he said "yeah, he does...". So I talked to him about how much a park would mean to me, and he said that he'll talk to his dad about putting one in because he realizes how much all of us Crystal Mountain freeskier locals would like a park.
 
I just found the secret park last year! This season my friends and I are gonna rape and pillage the park like no other! Good thing that not many others will be able to find it. :)
 
I could care less about a crystal park, seriously, it won't be as good as the snoqualmie park, no matter how low that bar may be, and your crystal pass is good at snoqualmie.
 
there was a crappy 1/4 pipe on the bottom, everyone kept over-verting it and landing in the flats. It got chewed up pretty quick.

Only like 2 or 3 boxes, but a few good rails. 2 really nice medium sized jumps, and a few smaller ones. Nothing spectatcular, but it was ok.

Definitely worth the 2 hour drive on a non-powder day though, for sure.
 
LMAO! Yeah but watch out on the shorter box because its got a couple screws that stick up and catch your edges. The park crew is mad lazy.
 
I don't know what your talking about, the boxes at crystal were fine, it was the snoqualmie ones that were suffering from a lazy park crew.
 
I've always thought of the crystal park as kinda grassroots. I mean, it is initially setup by Crystal employees, but as you said their park crew hardly ever does any park maintenance. I usually always bring a shovel up and try to clean things up a little bit before I start hitting anything.
