Snow Reporter Comments: 4/26/2026And just like that… it’s a wrap on the 25/26 winter season. Thank you to the entire Crystal Mountain community for showing up this season. Some of the best days we’re had this year, along with some of the most challenging, and of course everything in between. We’ll be swapping the skis for hiking boots, and getting ready to open up for summer. Summer operations will kick off May 22, and we’ll be back spinning the Mt. Rainier Gondola, having lunches at The Summit House, soaring through The Flying Raven Adventure Course and taking summer to new heights with plenty of events. Thank you ALL, for the energy, grit, stoke, and for making this place what it is. It doesn’t happen without you. Until winter 26/27….
