Inside Scoop

Cafeteria and two snack bars, outdoor grill, ski and snowboard rentals, warming area, Winner's Circle Lounge, full service ski shop, and PSIA ski school. Carpet lifts for beginners available. 100 percent snowmaking.
The lodge is hands, down, the best in SW Michigan. This is not my favorite hill because the trail layout is odd. The quad lift ostensibly services the entire hill, but getting from it to the beginner (left) side is very steep. A less experienced skier or a crowd will force you down a more advance…
