Reviews

I like Granite Peak better than any other Midwestern ski place, but the people running it really need to up their game. I skied on Friday and Saturday after a big late-season snowfall, and they didn't seem to be able to cope. Friday was not entirely their fault, because a light early morning drizzle put a crusty glaze over the groomers. But they left open one black run, Infinity, that hadn't been groomed and should have been closed. Proof? With no additional precipitation, they closed it on Saturday. The grooming on the other runs on Saturday ranged from adequate to lousy. Lots of chunks on steep slopes, random spots missed. What could have been a great ski weekend was only an okay one, and they have themselves to blame.
