EAT. DRINK. SHOTSKI.

Right in the heart of downtown Crystal Lake, tucked into that iconic Home Bank building, something new is warming up…

Kick off your boots, ditch the goggles, and pull up a chair at Rookies Crystal Lake is bringing full après-ski energy straight to Main Street. Cozy lodge vibes, mountain-town charm, and a shot ski lined up with your name (and four of your closest friends’) on it.

Great runs deserve a great après. Grab your crew, the shotski waits for no one.
