I am from the southern part of Michigan (below the bridge). The snowboarding and ski hills we have down here where fun and good for training but then you go here... thus place had beautiful, long, and smooth runs. All different types of skill levels and everything. This was a very fun place for me.

We went on a Sunday for the tubing hill. We had an absolute blast. They allow for more than one tube to go down at a time. We loved coming up with different variations of ways to go down. The tow hook to take you back up the hill was seriously the best part. Our family is already talking about when we can go again!

I do not ski, but I brought my kids to the tubing hill. There was plenty of staff to monitor kids. We had tons of fun and were completely safe. Be aware! It is a bit of a trek up to the hill.

Great local vibe, family friendly, with a variety of terrain. Hours are a little different, so check ahead of time before making the trip. Nice pit stop on the way to Boho.
