Crystal Mountain, Washington's largest ski and snowboard resort, throws its FREE annual pre-season Winter Stoke Block Party in downtown Enumclaw on Cole Street on Saturday, November 7, 2026 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Held in partnership with the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce, the all-ages street party is Crystal's official winter kickoff, celebrating the upcoming 2026-27 season with the mountain community before the lifts spin. The evening features live music, a beer garden (run by the Enumclaw Chamber with Anheuser-Busch), industry and community vendors, giveaways, marshmallow and Twinkie roasting contests, family carnival games and a Fun Zone with a bounce house and ball pit, plus a gear raffle benefiting Mission Outdoors, a nonprofit connecting veterans to the outdoors (veterans can stop by the Mission Outdoors tent for a special gift and a complimentary raffle ticket). Local Cole Street eateries including The Mint, The Rainier Bar & Grill, Cole St. Brewery and Trapper's Sushi round out the food options. Schedule: 4:00 PM beer garden, Fun Zone and games open; 5:00 PM live music; 6:00 PM contests at the main stage; 7:00 PM raffle prize winners announced; 8:00 PM end. Admission is free and all ages are welcome; a free RSVP is available on Eventbrite. Crystal also offers an event-only deal at the party: a 3-Day Sunday-Friday pass for the 26/27 season for $199. Crystal Mountain's winter opening day is targeted for November 27, 2026, pending conditions.

Crystal Mountain Resort

Open to the public and all ages. This is a community winter-kickoff block party, not a competition; there are no competitor divisions or eligibility requirements.
