<p>Devil&rsquo;s Head, located in the beautiful Baraboo Bluffs region of central Wisconsin, is a big resort by Midwest standards &ndash; in fact, it&rsquo;s the third <a href="https://www.onthesnow.com/midwest/ski-resorts">largest in the Midwest</a>. The resort&rsquo;s strengths are long blue cruising runs that are impeccably groomed.</p>
<p>Step out of your lodge room at 8:30 a.m. or in the evening after 6 p.m., and you&rsquo;re guaranteed to find miles of impeccably groomed, corduroy-like runs. What you won&rsquo;t find here is much knee-knocking steep, but kids love the several terrain parks scattered around the resort. Skiers give it high marks in the areas of service, lodging, dining and apr&egrave;s-ski activity; all the things that combine to make for a great family ski vacation.</p>
<p>With all the buildings connected by covered walkways, it&rsquo;s easy to get around. Mom and dad can enjoy a leisurely dinner in the upscale Cornucopia Room while the kids go safely off to eat pizza and play games in another part of the resort.</p>
