Case Study: Crystal Mountain Resort improves remote security and operations with Verkada

How Crystal Mountain Resort Manages Physical Security from 7,000 Feet

Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington’s largest winter and summer getaway, needed a physical security solution that could survive extreme mountain conditions at 7,000+ feet, including snow, freezing temperatures, high humidity, and 100 mph winds. Their legacy cameras were failing in harsh weather, coverage was incomplete in remote areas, and pulling footage from old NVR systems was slow and cumbersome. They turned to Verkada for a modern camera and access control platform, including cameras and the Verkada Cellular Gateway.

Verkada solved the resort’s connectivity and durability challenges with IP67/IK10-rated cameras, built-in heaters, cloud-based management, and cellular deployments for remote locations. The result was reliable coverage across the resort’s 2,600 acres, faster footage retrieval, live video for marketing and operations, and improved safety and liability protection. Perry Turner’s team can now pull and share video in minutes instead of hours, while leadership recognized the platform’s lower long-term cost of ownership.
