Crystal hours?

Just a quick question: So the crystal website says that they are open daily from 9am - 4pm, but the past few weekends that I've been there, the lifts have started at 8:30. What's the deal? Do they only run them at 8:30 on weekends or do they try to start them at 8:30 every day? Is that 9am just to fool the non-locals?<br><br>thanks!

It's always been an 8:30 am start for the weekend/holiday period and 9:00 am for midweek.

<br><br>Not so anymore Mr. Bandit:<br>The hours are 9:00am-4pm everyday.<br>They changed the hours this year-weekend and holidays are 9am opening. But unofficially-they generally open when the patrol has done their rounds. <br>This means that they can open early if prepared-this is what Oface has experienced and it can be confusing.<br><br>Oh...and yes Oface...Us locals are only admitted to ski early from 8:30.<br>Just kidding-Have fun!<br>Joe<br>

Thanks for the correction JDB.
