I want to start with the positives and then move onto the negatives. Pros: I think Cannonsburg is a nice place for beginners and locals. The ticket counter and ski/boot rental process was super easy. The prices were very reasonable. The beginner slope was perfect for my 5 year old. Cons: As many others have mentioned, the parking lot is atrocious. The bathroom stalls are so tiny and not very clean. The snack area (not the restaurant) was okay. Basic food options. Staff appeared to be unenthusiastic about being there. Also, I have only been to a handful of ski resorts in my life. However, the ski lifts do not have a safety bar on any of the lifts. I felt like I was holding on for dear life. The distance from the beginner slope to the far right ski lift was pretty far and exhausting to get to. Overall, it's nice to have a local spot to ski. And I would not mind trying the tubing. I am sure that people have complained about these things over the years like parking and bathrooms ... but I don't think this place really cares. I think they are more like "take us as we are"! So this place isn't fancy but it is what it is. read more

Very rude worker, not accommodating at all especially considering i have a season pass. I really enjoy the park but i wish the main office workers weren't so rude. Also a picture of a season pass should be just fine to enter read more

We went to Cannonsburg for the first time this winter, and we had a blast! We prefer to do the snow tubing, and it's remarkably affordable for a 2-hour time slot. They have a moving walkway so you don't have to walk all the way up the hill, which is very nice. Their lodge area and fire pits are also great if you need to warm up. It gets pretty busy on the weekends, so we recommend going on a weekday or in the evening if you can swing it. read more

It's been a good while since we've been here, since you gotta make a reservation online for tubing. So plan ahead if you would like to go because the time slots get filled fast! Came here on a Saturday morning- The check in for tubing is all the way on the left side, outside of the building in a little window. Everyone in your group needs to do a waiver. It was a pretty smooth experience and because we were the first to arrive it was so nice to go up and down without the line. There are four lanes and each one was slightly different in a very fun way. Highly recommend going tubing! :) read more

We found this place through a game called RIO adventure cards Michigan. We scratched off the ticket and the adventure was to tube down the snow hill and have dinner at the cedar lodge; note: most locals know this place as cannonsburg. We decided to not tube and just have drinks at the lodge. There is a dirt parking lot out front, and lots of stairs to get to the restaurant. I did not see an elevator not ask if there was one, sorry. The building is dated, but clean. Reminded me of a local neighborhood ski lodge. The carpets were dark brown and stained, the bathroom had hard water stains in the toilets, the glass to watch activities outside needed to be cleaned and the overall vibe was country hick. There were plenty of children hanging about having food without parents at least for the first hour we were there. Our waitress was very sweet. She did here best to get us the answers we needed. For example, my menu had spinach and artichoke dip as a appetizer and my mother's did not. When asked she didn't know the answer. Had to go find out and when she came back she found out she had issues us two different menus.. The margarita was amazing. I did not like the sangria. They put a cinnamon on top that just overpowered everything in my opinion. We had an order of chicken wings and french fries. We had to send the french fries back because they were cold. The chicken wings did come out hot. Chicken wings were nothing to speak of. Overall, the experience was sub par. I will not be going back anytime soon or recommending it to a family or friend. read more

A review for the Cedar Lodge @ Cannonsburg: There are a couple dining options at Cannonsburg including the outdoor shipping container 'bar' with quick items as well as the indoor/first floor counter service that offers tenders/fries/cocoa/etc. All is what you'd expect... fried, fast and what the kids like. Upstairs you'll find the Cedar Lodge where it's full service sit down and a full bar. It's pretty cozy up there with a fire place and a nice view of the ski hill - something we took advantage of while our kids took ski lessons. We could have a drink, a bite for dinner and watch them go up and down the hill with their instructor. The service was solid. They had a staff of 4 working on Monday night with a half full dining area. They were fast, kind and very attentive. The menu is pretty great including soups, salads, sandwiches, a few entrees, full list of apps and a good kids menu. They beverage list is great too including local draft beer. We were surprised at how many tables were have casual adult bevs and dinner on a Monday night - us included. The food was great. I had the nachos (it's a ton! and definitely sharable). Husband had the chili (it was sweet and spicy) as well as the fries. All was tasty and huge portions. Overall, our experience was great. It was exactly what we needed for an hour while the kids skied: a great view of them on the hill, wine/beer and some tasty eats. We do recommend! read more

Pre-COVID review My coworkers and I went to Cannonsburg last year for a tubing outing as a team and had a blast! There are four tubing lanes and a "magic carpet" that pulls you up the hill so you don't have to walk or use a tow rope. It was really fun to go up the hill that way. There are plenty of tubes available, just take one from the bottom of the hill. Then you can link up with other people in your group to all go down together, or you can go solo or just with two people, etc. I think they only allow up to six or so linked together. The employees at the top will give you a push or a spin down the hill! There were quite a few other people tubing while we were there, but we never really had to wait as the flow of people and tubes was consistent the whole time. The lanes were pretty fast and there are some bumps and dips which make it interesting! One of the girls working said it's better to come in the evening as opposed to when they first open for the day, as the lanes are faster from being packed down throughout the day. Tubing tickets are about $20 per person and you can go for three hours which is plenty of time! We all had a blast and loved tubing. Afterwards we warmed up and had dinner in the Cedar Lounge which was really convenient. Our server was very nice and attentive. We started with some wings, which were great! They were spicy buffalo and a bit crisp, not soggy. For dinner I ordered the Beyond Burger and fries. The burger was pretty good but it came out without the fries. When I asked about it, our server brought out a huge bucket full! Unfortunately the fries were just okay, not super fresh and a little dry. They have a full bar with cocktails, craft beer, and wine! There was a band playing while we were there, which was fun but made it a little loud. The view of the hill is really cool from the lounge and there's a fireplace which gives it a cozy vibe. Overall I'm so glad we went tubing but might pick a different place for dinner next time. They do a deal on Sundays in the winter for skiing and snowboarding which is really cheap! The parking lot is very bumpy and uneven terrain so be careful driving and walking there. read more

I've been to Cannonsburg a few times in 2018, and in 2022. In 2018, I went tubing, not sure how much the price was, because I went with the school event. In 2022, I went to Cannonsburg to snowboard. The price for a student was 33 dollars, including the rent for the shoes and the board/ski. Helmet rental was another 13 dollars. Each step was clearly told by the cashiers and we were guided through the paying process, the shoes, and the board. It was super cold both times I went in January and there were two big fire pits with chairs around, where we could thaw our hands and feet. This is a very nice place to go! Lots of courses to ride your skis/boards read more

Wow, where do I begin? Lets start with driving in there driveway. Make sure you only bring a 4WD or AWD vehicle because they don't or rarely do they plow. Let's say they do plow and you manage to get in and out of their driveway, make sure you avoid the dinosaur ending craters they have in the parking lot. These craters are massive and I am surprised that they didn't extinct us when they were created. Now let's say you managed to get past the driveway perhaps you walked or had a truck you didn't care about. You manage to find your way inside the shack, you walk up to purchase your ski ticket (unfortunately) and you find out that the price is an astonishing $55!!! And you wonder where the profits have been going, obviously not to the parking lot. But hey you already made it through the obstacle course, mine as well keep going. So you purchase the ski ticket and assuming your board didn't snap in half driving through the driveway you don't need any rentals so you can skip the rental portion. After that adventure you need to use the restroom before you start trying to have fun. So you walk through the doors that has broken glass and metal replacing the broken glass and you try and find your way to the bathroom. As you get closer you start to smell something horrible and come to find out it's the bathroom. You decide to use the bathroom after debating whether to hold it or not. You walk in and it gives you flashbacks from summer from your time camping and using the horrid campground bathroom. You come to find out that the Cannonsburg bathroom is even worse and there are no separators in between the urinals and they are unreasonably close together. You look up and see that the ceiling is yellow and you want to puke but the toilet is even worse. You quickly make it out of the bathroom and decide you need something to eat before snowboarding. You see the options and see that everything is surprisingly fairly priced so you get ready to order but out of shock there isn't a single employee around. So you decide to skip your snack time and head back outside to finally enjoy something. You make your way across the bridge and get in line for the tri ski lift, you make the trek over and then come to find out the tri ski lift is closed. You walk back to the quad to get in line and the line is unreasonably long. You wait your term and you get on the ski lift halfway up (30 min in as the ski lift is slow) it stops and you have to wait a few minutes before moving again. You finally get up and try and get off and the slope to get off is steeper than the hill itself and the poor children trying to learn behind you fall, because the snow Is not groomed at all. You snowboard once down the groomed hill, not, the hill isn't groomed at all. You decide that's enough for the year and vow never to come back to this place. The drive to Caberfae is well worth as you are going to go to a place that's both cheaper and incredibly nicer. In fact you think Cannonsburg should pay you to ski/snowboard there. read more

There's a good chance I love Cannonsburg so much because I've been going pretty much my whole life. It's so much more than just a ski hill though! In the summer there are trails for running, biking, and of course hiking up the hills. The back deck area has picnic tables with umbrellas, and there are a good amount of them. There are table at the base of the hills as well, and they are all spaced out a good distance. This year was the introduction of The Sweet Spot. It's a little trailer behind the main lodge that serves all sorts of ice cream, desserts, and drinks. It's so nice being able to sit outside with a Tito's lemonade [adult] slushie and enjoy the view! They also have limited food options. The lodge is closed due to covid, but they have porta-potties behind the rental area. They seem to be kept quite clean too. There are stickers to indicate 6ft spacing in line, which is nice too. Also in the summer they had Backyard BBQ nights once a week. They brought out a grill and served hot dogs, burgers, fries, chips... I only went once, but it was really tasty, and seemed popular! During the winter they offer skiing as well as tubing. I went tubing last year and it was so much fun! If you get the right tubing operators they play fun music and are really energetic and fun. They are helpful with providing pushes or spins, and help facilitate racing between groups. It's a blast, and I can't wait to go back this year! The lodge and the snack area are pretty nice compared to some other ski areas, in my opinion. There is a ton of seating, and the food is actually pretty good. Though the real treat is the bar upstairs. Again, lots of seating, but a little quieter than the main lodge, and great views! I definitely recommend Cannonsburg for family activities, a chance to enjoy being outside, and overall great fun! read more

The owners put all profits in their pocket and don't update anything the parking lot is in shambles with potholes everywhere and same with the the lodge the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting one has a hole in the ceiling that leaks it's dirty the food is way overpriced and also the lift tickets the lifts are from the 70s and are uncomfortable slow and are always breaking there are very few snow machines so the base Is always very thin and one of the runs has no snow machines on it so it's never open the only thing that this place has going for it is the parks which aren't even that amazing I've seen way better this is probably the worst resort in Michigan don't come here!! read more

$55 for a lift ticket when Caberfae is cheaper and it's a real ski resort. They never have all their runs open and the indoor facilities have been the same since I was a kid and are old and gross. I mean the restrooms are filthy and things like doors and glass are broken everywhere. The employees do not care whatsoever and get paid to stand around. Your time and $ is better spent driving up north. Their HORRIBLE driveway, indoor facilities etc all need repairs and the snow is poorly groomed. Junk of a place. They should pay me to snowboard there. I wonder where the profits are going when they charge $55!! read more

What a blast on a winter Friday night to go tubing with your family . Tickets are available on line , make sure to have everyone in your party sign a waiver !! Ride the magic carpet to the top of the hill and blast down single , double or make your own shape . Staff is friendly and helpful , you must mask up on the carpet to keep them jovial. Numerous fire pits are set up for warming but we never needed that in our two hour time block. Even long lines move quickly . If you are bored head out to the hill to rube , no skill required !! read more

Wanted to make a very simple transaction, I wanted to pay 30 cash and 10 card for my lift ticket. Cashiers seemed very confused. Gave them the 30 and they said the rest would be charged to my card. 10 minutes later I check my Chase app and see that I was charged the full price (40 instead of just 10) on my card. Went back to the same cashier (10 minutes later) and asked if I could get my 30 dollars back that I paid in cash, she said "no, you have no proof". Even though this was the SAME person that just check me out and I showed her my rep it on Chase. So basically I ended up paying 70$ for an afternoon pass. Wtf read more

I really enjoy Cannonsburg every time I go! They have a few fire pits, impressive hills for being only 20 minutes outside of GR, and lots of lodge space. Their snow tubing is incredible for $20, and you get 3 hours which is plenty of time to enjoy it... they have a giant magic carpet to pull you up the hill, 4 different "tracks" for when it gets busier, and very friendly guides to help push you down or help you off the carpet. We measured our MPH down the hill on a phone app and tried to beat our speeds using different formations.. we hit 33mph! The tubes are in great shape too! I highly recommend this for all ages.. we were in our 20s&30s and had a blast! The only thing I didn't love was the feel of the facilities indoors. It feels a bit old, the tables by the windows a tad crowded, and the bathrooms weren't very clean. For a low-budget ski trip though I think it works just fine for what it is! Top it off with their hot chocolate (deliciousness) in the lodge while you defrost, and come back to try their skiing! read more

Went here for the first time. It was a beautiful sight to drive past. We went tubing and it was great! I love the conveyor belt that you can stand on to get to the top. The staff was very helpful. There was staff everywhere. Afterwards, we went inside for some appetizers which were delicious. The chef came out to say hello and asked how the food was. We had the adult hot chocolate, it was perfect after being outside in the cold. read more

We find Cannonsburg to be a small town ski resort with plenty to offer for all members of our family. Hills for beginners, to more advanced options, like the terrain park, for the older more experienced members of your group. Also a tubing hill, and even a groomed fat bike trail for those who want to try something a little less mainstream. Everything you need for a memorable daytrip. read more

Cannonsburg was one of the many places my now wife and I visited when looking for wedding reception venues. I've been mountain biking at there in the summer (and fat biking in the winter) for many years, so I knew the setting was cool. The addition of the deck nights in the summer a few years ago meant that I knew they could do food, etc. They were the only venue we visited that had anything close to the flexibility for catering and bar that we were hoping for. That along with the amount of room, outdoor deck, etc. made our reception better than we could have imagined! If you're having any sort of event, I'd highly recommend Cannonsburg! read more

I want to personally say thank you to the staff at Cannonsburg Ski Area for showing their appreciation for veterans and first responders.

The Haunted Forest and Lighted Forest (no ghouls - just lights and displays) are amazing. Both are well lit and decorated with eye catching and fiendishly fun displays. Nominating all the ghouls in the Haunted Forest for Academy awards- especially the 2 hags in front of Forest. And the ghoul in the tree. The lighted forest is perfect for younger children - loved the lit witches hat walk and the hanging slinkies. Soooo many decorated trees and displays. And the caramel apples and apple fritters sold by the ticket office are worth a second trip next weekend. This 60 something gram hasn't had that much Halloween fun since trick or treating. When my children were young - we'd go to Greenfield Village at Halloween. This is just as good. read more

Went there on a Saturday. They were having some events so there were some runs closed that were advertised as open and one run closed for, I don't know why. I also saw 4 collisions that didn't result in removal by ski patrol. The place was a mad house full of kids that barely knew how to ski and poor etiquette, causing problems. The lift exits were steep and not raked often enough to prevent deep channels from forming. The lift operators didn't slow or stop the lift unless absolutely necessary. The unloading area of one lift became so clogged with fallen skier's/boarders that there was a collision. I only blame the lift operator who let 2 chairs of people stay fallen in the unloading area then sent a 3 one into the mix. I will probably never go back. Caberfae is twice the distance for me but a much better choice. read more

I am highly dissapointed in the service that we recived they should really get their facts straight for example we went to their website and they said the Sunday 20$ deal was up and running we EVEN CALLED!!!!! and we arrived there and they said "that is gonna be $37 we went to the front office and explained our dilema and they refused anything was said and that the website is corect they need a wake up call ......this is defenitly NOT the first time!!!!! and yes the lifts are slow andthe kitchen has outrages prices like I'm gonna pay 2.50 for a french frie that has a handfull of fries!!! horrible service read more

A hidden gem in West Michigan. Not only the best skiing and boarding so far South, but a great spot for summer fun too. Their mountain bike trail system is an amazing mix of gorgeous flowing single track, and it's free to ride outside of ski season! In season it's groomed for winter fat biking. They also have an amazing zip line course that's unlike anything in West Michigan. read more

Incredibly disappointed when I went to go purchase a gift certificate for this upcoming snow season. Masks are mandated inside and OUTSIDE, while there being NO mandate in our state. By now everyone has either had it and or vaccinated. There is no following the science at Cannonsburg! It states in the wording that the magic carpet will be stopped and the person singled out until the masks are put back on. Imagine how embarrassing and humiliating that would be for a child! We used to love Cannonsburg and my son learned to ski there, but will not return to a business that does not think about ALL of their costumers! read more

This place is il equipped to handle anything. First and foremost their social media and website need to be updated. I drove hours to come try fat tire biking and of course there are apparently no rentals available this year? There was no real explanation given, and I assume it is COVID related somehow? Why are people able to still rent skis? I have skied this place before and is complete garbage. Even compared to a ski hill like a Brighton, which is literally built on an old garbage dump. Not even deserving of a star honestly. Stay away everybody. Plenty of other ski hills in Michigan. Wish there were more places to try fat tire biking. read more
