Thanks for posting this. I LOVED the Queen's Run when Crystal was just a locals' mountain. Back then I had Mondays off and pretty much had the place to myself (the lifties called me Monday Lady) and my husband was stationed in Ft Lewis at the time, so I could get both midweek and veteran's discount. All day ticket for me was $20. From what I can tell they did away with most if not all discounts.
No, there are no green runs off Rainer Express/ Gondola. This is actually Little Shot which is a cat track to the Left of Lucky shot. Get comfortable on Burner Hill off Downhill and you'll be okay on Lucky shot. You can ride the gondola up and down to check out the view/ eat at Summit House
I live in Europe, but I used to ski at Crystal every year in the pre-COVID era. But nowadays a Sunday lift ticket is $189?! And it's $80 for equipment? And you have to pay for parking? AND reserve a parking spot in advance? Think I'm gonna skip it this year.
