Mostly we tried to plan a route that maximized our ski time and minimized our amount of TICWK (Time In Car With Kid). This is not that route—it was the end of the season and we were racing ski area closures and a time crunch. Do try to stay more than one night per spot if at all possible, unless you really want to go nuts like we did on about day six of this trip. https://www.ingridbackstrom.com/mostlymountainsblog/2019/1/6/the-great-family-ski-road-trip-part-2-crystal-mountain monthly 0.5 2026-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57991addbebafbd99399545b/1547333465844-YBAHA70UDKQB3G0YH928/blog--CM+pinball.jpg Mostly Mountains Blog - The Great Family Ski Road Trip, Part 2: Crystal Mountain Reason number 382 why I love Crystal Mountain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57991addbebafbd99399545b/1547333571436-W5LL9DJOWZ3XECJMZ3XG/blog--CM+above+the+clouds.jpg Mostly Mountains Blog - The Great Family Ski Road Trip, Part 2: Crystal Mountain KAVU bro!
