Loved your TR on your snowshoe hike. I'll attach it to the Crystal mtn page since I think there will be others who might consider doing it via snowshoes. Again, good job.
My guts was firing at me that Crystal Mountain and the Crystal Mountain are would be a great early season snowshoe/snowclimb. I tried to convince others of this and finally found a group that was convinced. I don't know quiet how open it is during ski season though? But as long as the ski area is closed this is an excellent early winter route.
I think Cyohma has proved to be very generous here and seems to have a similar attitude regarding summits. I'm quite pleased with how it all turned out.
This was an excellent early winter trip. And just to think it is only the beginning of winter. Who knows how many more awesome glissades there will be!
Thank you! It was an awesome trip. Now that Crystal Mountain is open the ski runs are off limits. You can so snowshoeing but away from the ski property.
