Riding a chair lift is exciting.

When I went to Crystal Mountain, I went on all the chair lifts. The fastest chair lift was the crystal Clipper. The Clipper can hold four people and so can the Buck Chair Lift. The Lokie Chair Lift can hold three people. They had lots of snow makers, but they didn't have them on when I was there. ....Jordan

Skiing at Crystal Mountain was very exciting. I mostly went up on the Crystal Clipper. That was my favorite chair lift because it would get me up the hill faster. And there were lots of hills up there. I think Crystal Mountain is very organized. They know where to put the lifts and hills and they do good in the lodge. In the lodge it was very comfortable. The lift people are very good with people and children. They make sure you get on safely. That is what I like. ...Evan

Some tried their skill at snow boarding.
We're ready. Let's go!
This is a great day for friends.

Some enjoyed sampling food at the lodge

I just hope I can hold on until the top. The fun part is coming back down.

Let's see page one again.

After my friends and I were skiing for a while we found this other hill. It was a blue square. They are not the easiest hills or the hardest hills. They are the inbetweens. The hill had a few turns - there was another part of the hill that had trees and tons of jumps. All my friends and I called it the tree trail. One time I was going down at a good speed and went over a jump and hit a TREE. OUCH OUCH OUCH. Now there is a little hole in my forhead from that and falling off a chair lift. My hands were sticking out when I hit the tree. I said, "I LOVE YOU TREEE!" It was really fun. ...Marlee
