Crystal Mountain


I got a temporary job in the kitchen at Crystal Mountain in Washington right outside the Mount Rainier National Park to end the ski season.   This sign no longer stands above the footbridge, but maintenance is looking a restoring it.



Crystal Mountain is Washington's  best ski resort, although resort is cutting it a little close it's mainly for the best place to ski and have lodging for hard core Washingtonians much like Mt. Hood or Mt. Bachelor to us Oregonians.  It is not like Vail, or Lake Tahoe as far as ammonites but there is a plan and it is growing.



The ski season ends late April and that is perfect timing for me to jump into to climbing season and maybe have a vehicle.  I live above the Snorting Elk Cellar and Restaurant where I also work it is a kind of dorm setting but I luckily got my own room.  On the weekends there are musical gigs in the bar and it can be quite noisy.  Ear plugs are a must if you want to get some rest.
