Snow fun from morning 'til night at Crystal Mountain

Who would have thought that one of the ten best winter resorts for families would be in the Midwest? Colorado, Northern California, Wyoming, maybe - but Michigan? You obviously haven't been to Crystal Mountain.

Parents magazine has just named Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa to its list of Ten Best Winter Resorts for Families (and it has been rated #1 Resort in the Midwest by SKI magazine).

Established in 1956, Crystal Mountain has the experience behind it to know how to attract and treat vacationing families. It's a family-owned, four-season resort featuring 45 downhill ski and snowboard trails, 40km of cross-country trails, Michigan Legacy Art Park, award-winning Crystal Spa, lodging, dining, golf, alpine slide, one-acre water playground, and IACC-approved conference facilities.
 
Crystal Mountain was the only Midwest resort selected in the Parents poll, ranking #8 on the list among destinations in winter locales such as Beaver Creek, Telluride, and Park City. From more than 100 contenders, Parents narrowed the field by evaluating the family activities on site, the quality of ski lessons for young children, the standard room size and amenities, child care services, kids’ clubs or supervised play areas and the price tag.

This winter Crystal Mountain’s Pure Michigan Family Ski Vacation offers an all-inclusive and affordable way for families to experience winter fun on and off the slopes from $219 per family, per night (midweek) and $299 per family, per night (weekend). Lodging, lift tickets, cross-country trail passes, snowshoeing, ice skating and hockey rental gear, snowshoe hikes, and more are all included. Those just learning to ski or ride can add the GET SKIING option for $50 per person, per day which includes rental and a one- or two-hour group.
