Crystal was my home mountain for 23 years. Now, home is Sandpoint/Schweitzer. Schweitzer has some of the best pitch, width and well groomed runs around for carving! ("Down the Hatch" one of many, groomed wall to wall nightly!)
I'm an old(54 yrs) rider & new to the BOL forum.I'm a Crystal regular and ride my alpine gear or soft gear(depending on the conditions). I truly enjoy the carving community-being on the slope and another carver appears and you have an instant connection with that person. Small talk on gear,set-ups,etc. and almost always "wanna do a couple runs?"
