The basic problem are too many of us now going to Crystal, or other areas! From my early days in the late 60's with a Crystal pass when the pop in Puget SOund was about 1.5 mil going to Crystal was more plesant vs today with our 3.9 mil, pop. Now with more people here, more wealth, retirees, better equipment and lifts, the end results are more traffic difficulties getting there, and big lines for gettig first tracks that are quickly gone. I do appreciate Crystal adding new lifts over the years, but going to Whistler seems a better option given good exchange rate, huge mountain, short lift lines, great food, and a good highway with traffic that moves, unless it is 4pm Sunday to Van!
