Shanty Creek

  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 is a greater than average ski mountain featuring a roughly average vertical drop when compared to other mid west ski hills. Shanty Creek boasts an average amount of snow every season. The 450 foot height difference is naturally not
    that much to brag about, but Shanty Creek makes up for it by other means. Shanty Creek has an average percentage of expert and advanced ski trails and an average ratio of green and blue runs. Shanty Creek has the biggest elevation
difference among ski hills in a 21 mile radius. This ski resort has 10 ski lifts, and they are in tremendous condition. The extraordinary seasonal snowfall of 17 feet is one of the reasons this is such a great ski resort. There's 400 acres of skiing area, and it's all in wonderful condition. This ski area has a good range of runs and a decent choice of good ski lifts. Magnificent exercise and just hanging out with your skiing mates have snow skiers coming  
here. There are 49 runs to pick from; there's a tremendous variety to suit everyone. There are great comfortable hotels here, but you'd better book in advance of a trip since these hotels fill up fast. The winter months in Michigan is truly a great time of year for snowboarding or skiing. A lot of skiers voyage up here from Cadillac, specifically on the weekends.
