Bittersweet ski area, Michigan - Skiing and Snowboarding

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

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.
