Our award winning Terrain Parks are up and running!
In 2011 the readers of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine voted for their favorite Terrain Parks in the nation. The Terrain Parks at Nub's Nob held up to the test coming away with 3 awards; #1 park in Michigan, #3 park in the mid-west and #1 vibe in the entire country (ranking us ahead of resorts like Big Bear, Mammoth Mountain, Park City and more).

Our snow making teams and terrain park crew stepped up to the challenges of a bad snow year to open one of the most progressive parks in Michigan, weeks ahead of the competition.

Holiday Recap
The 2011/2012 holidays have come and gone and we'd like to thank all of you for making it a very special one. Despite a warm early winter and little to no natural snow fall, our world class snowmaking crew pulled through, providing first class conditions with more runs and lifts open then any other Michigan ski area.
Below is a bit of
a review of all that went down over the holiday season!



A great turnout of excited New Years Eve skiers and riders Wait anxiously for the torchlight parade to begin!
Ski patrollers and Ski School instructors make their way up the green lift for their first descent down Smokey!
The holiday season also saw the unveiling of the new Rail Yard Terrain Park at Nub's Nob. Serviced by a Tbar handle tow park enthusiasts can take hot laps with their friends in just about a minute top to bottom.
The area was packed with holiday skiers and riders, but our chairlift operators kept lift lines under a 5 minute wait!
We've said it before and we'll say it again, the proof is in the parking lot!
Word spread quickly about the fantastic conditions and our lots were filled to the brim!
We hope that you and yours had a wonderful holiday season!
