Bittersweet ski area, Michigan

  Bittersweet has enormous snow-making capacity and is consistently the first to open in SW Michigan. Their vertical is only 350 ft, but that's about 100 more than any other resort in SW Michigan. As noted, their lift system is impressive, particularly the high speed detachable quad, but lines can get a little long on late December weekends. Their terrain park has a good variety of boxes, jumps, etc. Very friendly people. says Steve.

Yea you guys rock i love the snow says Phil Macrackin.

Ahh yes, Bittersweet
    Ski Area... Michigan skiing at it's very best. The drops in these part of the country are not that impressive but I think Bittersweet makes the most of it. I do recommend this ski area. says George Wilson.

In my oppinion Bittersweet ski area of Michigan
is quite a good place for a bit of winter fun. I must say the lift system is quite impressive for a resort this size and everything is well maintained. It's quite a pleasure to come here to ski. says Paul.

Bittersweet gets covered by an average amount of snow every season. A 350 foot height difference is unsurprisingly not that much, but Bittersweet has so many other great features. Bittersweet has a much lower than average ratio of expert and advanced trails and a much higher than average part of intermediate
 
or beginner runs. The 6 good ski lifts here make for a peaceful ride up the hill. The 17 trails at this ski hill are tremendous. This is a magnificent ski resort for everybody with scores of easy slopes for novices. Every ski season this ski resort gets 8 feet of snow, and that keeps the depth glorious. There's 100 acres of skiable land, and it's all in nice condition. When this part of Michigan is blanketed in snow; it is truly a great time of year for skiing and snowboarding. Bittersweet is a regular size ski area having an average drop if compared to other mid west ski resorts. No other ski resort for 91 miles has a higher elevation difference. Bittersweet has a rather small set of runs and an okay choice of ski lifts. The trailmap on this page will give you a good idea what Bittersweet is like. Not too many places to stay around here, you'll have to voyage a bit to get to one, but do reserve a room prior to departure given that it is a very popular destination. Lots of skiers go up here from Allegan, in particular on the weekends. The skiing and the snowboarding in Michigan is scores of fun every day of the winter season. A little bit of exercise and getting out of the house for a while will have you returning for more.
