Get ready for a feel-good ride through Northern ski hill history.I first skiied Crystal Mt in 1967. That was my first time on a chairlift. I thought it was heavenly! I had skis and lace boots just like those in the picture. I remember how happy I was when buckle boots came in! I could never get my laces tight enough.
My pic from early 60’s lace-up boots, stretch-ski-pants and ski ticket Collection I remember one year my collection was about a foot long, from Eskar Hills and up West Michigan coast to Big M and to Walloon Hills! (All closed ) Crystal is my favorite these days❤️ ⛷
We’re having snow much fun all over the resort! ❄️
Looking forward to enjoying the great conditions this weekend! ❄️⛷💙🤗
