    This review is for the ski operation only. I did not eat or drink anything here, although I did…read moreuse the (modernized, thank you Midwest Family Ski Resorts MFSR), the owner of the past couple years. The ski hill centers around a high speed 6 person lift, which runs very well with friendly staff. Buy your lift tickets online (it is cheaper), then you get RFID card at the outside ticket counter. Do the waivers online ahead of time, will save time as well. The runs are well groomed, fairly well marked. Lots of variety, good for beginner to advanced skiers. Additional lifts are present throughout the terrain, with really nice, friendly lifties. I highly recommend as a destination ski area for the Midwest. MFSR has spent $15 million upgrade this hill, and it shows.

    Never again. I booked an onsite property at Snow River…read moreMountain Resort and only realized after checking in that I had accidentally booked two rooms. Despite staying for the weekend and the resort being practically empty, they refused to cancel even part of the reservation or offer a future credit because it wasn't canceled 30 days in advance. My mistake ended up costing me $600. None of the front desk staff seemed to have the authority to make decisions about refunds. The only person who could--Teegan--had no direct line, never responded, and despite calling for an entire week, I never once spoke to her. To make matters worse, the unit above us had a water leak, and our bathroom ceiling literally collapsed. Still no refund, no compensation, not even an apology from management. I have great memories of skiing these hills back when they were Indian Head and Black Jack. Sadly, after this experience, I won't be returning.

    This little ski & snowboard destination is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the beautiful upper…read morepeninsula (U.P.) of Michigan, by the Portage Canal, overlooking the city of Houghton and the campus of Michigan Technological University, this ski hill remains my favorite in the country. I've been to places like Snowbird and Brighton, but Ripley just has that charm you can't find elsewhere. It's small. The vertical is just over 400 ft, has about 25 trails and only one chair lift and a T-bar. Now the exciting stuff. The hills are shaped like a ski-jumping ramp. It's steep near the top, and flattens out near the bottom (where the bunny hill is). This means you can acquire speed very quickly - enough speed to hit the quarter-pipe, tabletops, and other fun stuff in the terrain park on your way down. There're quite a few black-diamond runs, and a double-diamond. For adventurous skiers/snowboarders, there're plenty of woods in between trails. There's even a small cliff, just to the right of the T-bar on the way up, for powder-day audacity. I'm a snowboarder and by nature I tend to explore the roads less traveled. This place is perfect for exploration. In addition, given its small size, your knees can get the rest they need between runs, and get ready for the next adventure. This is especially true for snowboarders. When your muscles are fatigued, you can't initiate turns and can easily end up in the patrol room. Ski patrol. I used to patrol there for five years, and Ripley has the highest patrol-to-customer and lowest accident-per-day ratios I've seen. The patrol body consists of local old-timers as well as Michigan Tech students. It's extremely well-organized, well-trained, well-disciplined, and of course, friendly :) Kids. I think I've seen more kids there than adults - and most kids are really, pretty good! Lessons, either in groups or one-on-one, are available to people of all ages and skill levels. The trail conditions. They make snow prior to the start of the season, so there's always plenty of base. The U.P. gets more than 200" of snow on average, so you can count on many powder days with pristine snow. Most trails are groomed and they groom it well. Night skiing is available daily, and trails are well-lit. The view. One of the reasons I love this place so much is the ability to scan the entire horizon as you look down from the hilltop. Ripley faces south, meaning it gets plenty of sunlight. Few things beat the view of a quiet sunset from a mountain top. There're special events throughout the season, e.g., Winter Carnival in February, Slush Pit (there's a funny youtube video) in March, and various ski & snowboard races and competitions like Big Air. All these make for a perfect place for both beginners and experts. And when you're done for the day, head to any of the local microbreweries!

    Americinn of the Porcupine Mountains - Great selection of food. There are even more than what I have here.

    This seems to be the biggest location around for folks coming to see the Porcupine Mountains…read more(Porkies); the hotel is one of the last things you'll drive past before you enter the park grounds. Check-in was fast and seamless; room was clean and comfortable; proximity to Lake Superior was nice. We enjoyed watching the waves from the little slice of beach the hotel had behind it; there is a also a bonfire pit and quite a few comfy outdoor benches here, as well as some picnic benches nearby for folks wanting to enjoy a picnic outside. As far as restaurant options locally: the hotel is attached to one of the few restaurants in the area, so that was a good fall back on option. We passed on eating there after reading some of the reviews, choosing to go into downtown Ontonagon instead (check out Syl's!) and Antonio's (about 20-30 mins away off of 64 & 28). Again, it's just nice to have the choice nearby if you're tired of driving. Reasons this hotel didn't get a solid 5 star review is: first, the staff are not particular friendly, never greeted us all the times we walked past/obviously had questions. We had to initiate conversation with them. Secondly, although the hotel had signs saying masks are required by state mandate, some staff were not wearing masks, relying on the plexiglass barrier only.

    Beautiful comfy rooms and beds! Nice pool! AbsolutEly's…read morelovely setting on Lake Superior! Summer sunrise and set visible from the shore line! Yooperlites found on the nearby beaches! The staff is so kind and efficient at their jobs! Restaurant on site!! One of the best parts is the requirement of quiet time after 10pm! Makes the sleep perfection! Our dogs loved it, too!
