Crystal Mountain -Wa
Crystal is opening with limited operations for the weekend! The Discovery, Chinook Express & Forest Queen chairlifts will be open Saturday and Sunday from 9am-4pm. Early season conditions do exist so we ask that you ski and ride with caution. Upper mountain will not be open this weekend because it was hit pretty hard by wind earlier this week and the coverage is still too thin. Due to the high freezing level expected early next week, we will close on Monday until further notice. So come and get it while you can www.skicrystal.com

My Switzerland
Customs, Market This is considered the biggest Christmas market in Switzerland, with roughly 120 vendors displaying their wares in the Obere and Untere Gasse alleys, on Ochsenplatz, Kornplatz and Martinsplatz squares. As in earlier years, the Chur old town association sticks to its traditional concept, allowing only handcrafted Advent and Christmas objects from the region for sale. The festive event is further enhanced with various musical presentations. The market takes place in the alleyways and squares of the old town of Chur and lasts on Friday from 14.00 to 21.00 hours, on Saturday from 10.00 to 16.00 hours. www.churtourismus.ch
