Crystal mtn now on a Reservation system

Just got Crystal notice they are going on a reservation system starting 1-4-2022. Nice way to start the new year. 

Total bullshit. They required a full IKON Pass to ski any day and now they are changing the rules after reaping the benefits from the sales. Somehow we need to organize and bring a lawsuit against Crystal. They cannot be allowed to simply change the rules after the game has started.

www.crystalmountainresort.com/reservations (accessed 1/1/2022):

To help offer the best guest experience possible during a busy season, Crystal Mountain will require lift reservations for all skiers and riders including Ikon Pass holders, local pass holders, and local frequency day products starting Saturday, January 8, 2022. Reservations can be made starting at 9am PT on Tuesday, January 4 at ikonpass.com in My Account. Reservations will be limited to a maximum of 7 per pass holder at one time.

This does seem to be a change in policies. I have an email from Crystal from last spring (dated March 4, 2021) with this statement:

"Reservations have been necessary this season for us to control our capacity in the interest of safety protocols, but we will no longer require reservations to access the mountain next season."

Notice that CMAC kids, parents, and coaches are exempt. That was true last year. They have created a privileged class of skiers using the same pass. Years ago my group the 410 Freedom Fighters fought  to preserve skiing in MNRP via Crystal. We won on a technicality. At least we tried. The first thing I did at the time was to go to the press which certainly got attention. Surely Lowell you have press connections. Also there must be a TYAer who is a lawyer. File a law suit.

  Sure glad I didnt buy a pass this year. Probably wont ski Crystal at all any more. Too many other choices for the PNW skiier.
