Shanty Creek ski area, Michigan

  Good ski hill, I go there a lot with my buddies. There are a lot of other ski hills around here but we keep going back to this one, the other ones are good too we just feel home at this one I suppose. says Brian.

Shanty Creek has an ok mixture of ski slopes and sufficient good ski lifts to serve them all. This ski hill receives snowfall close to the local average every winter. With a total of 49 trails to ski on; there's a great variety to gratify everyone. This ski resort has 400 acres of skiing land, and
    it's all blanketed by wonderful snow. This ski area has an average percentage of black and red ski trails and an average percentage of easy ski slopes. No other ski hill for 21 miles has a more towering vertical drop. With a 450 foot drop from top to bottom it's
not the highest hill there is, but all the other splendid qualities of Shanty Creek make up for it. Getting a little bit of pleasant exercise and just being on the ski slopes for a while will make you feel pleasant. Shanty Creek is a full-size ski area boasting a medium altitude difference if compared to other mid west ski hills. The 10 ski lifts here are in magnificent shape. This ski mountain boasts so much good snow, 17 feet every winter, and that is one of the reasons this is such a pleasant ski mountain. The wintertime  
in Michigan is so lovely for snowboarding and skiing. The skiing and the snowboarding in Michigan is a nice thing to do every day of the snow season.
