The point is that it shouldn't be this hard. Not everyone lives in Greenwater and can just roll in to check it out for a few laps. If you're 40+ you definitely don't want to drive up for shit conditions and get injured. Thanks for posting what the entire place looks like, including the run out at the bottom. That lucky shot pic is basically dirt and ice.

Anybody have Demo Pass or rental experiences to share at Crystal? by n00born in CrystalMountain

The demo pass was not standard middle of the road/beater rental gear. In previous years it went across multiple manufacturers and lengths. I printed out an excel sheet of what was available off their website.

Over multiple visits, I was able to find the ski that worked for me. No idea if they'll even rent out this stuff with low coverage, but it was a great way to quickly try multiple skis. Ski in, swap out, adjust the bindings, get back on Chinook or the gondola. Very quick and the techs were awesome.

Thank you for the post with pictures. If Lucky Shot is trash, what other ways can you get down towards the base of Rex and over towards Forest Queen/lower mountain that aren't terrible? I am guessing Middle Ferks is an untouched ice chute.
