    Beginner Training hill

    Not a bad spot. Pricing is decent, more affordable then some other ski lodges in the area. Lift ticket was $56 and ski and snowboard rental was $35. They have a lodge area with a cafeteria and some basic snacks. I think they also have spirits and other refreshments. Locker area takes 2 quarters to lock every time you open it, but the cubby is kind of small. We fit three pairs of shoes and a grocery bag but I tried to fit a small gym bag and it didn't fit. Slopes are pretty versatile, some more double black diamonds for those who like ramps and an extra challenge. And they also have ski patrol roaming around for safety.

    For a beginner and our 1st time to be here...Alpine Valley Ski resort is so far a great place to start learning how to ski or snowboard. We arrived around 10am to avoid the crowd. Parking was free and halfway full. Paid for the use for the beginners' slope from the morning till 530pm of the same day for $36++ Bought our 2nd hand boards from play it again sports, 50%off goggles and helmets at Dunham's. If we want to use rentals, it will cost $29 for the skis/boards and $10 for helmets. So the ski lifts are there. It looks scary for the chairs to be swinging back and forth and moving fast, about 10-15 feet above the ground. To keep my self warm, I took my boots off and sat close to the fire place located in the cafeteria. Chicken fingers, pizza, soda and energy drinks are available for short consumption. Most important to keep yourself geared up because it's cold here. Layers and layers of clothing and gloves at all times. Bring a hand warmer on hand because there is no place for heaters once you are above the mountains or hills. Easy to freeze any part of your body in seconds Anyways, good times ahead. Snooooow away we goooo!!!!

    Went skiing on MLK day, a great day to ski; cold, sunny with no wind after a large weekend snow fall. So I was really pumped to hit the slopes with my son and his friend, however I was disappointed with the lack of open lifts. Only chairs 4, 5 and 7 were open when we arrived at 10am, which limits skiers to less than 50% of the terrain. Chair 2 didn't open till 3:30pm, so my boys where limited in skiing their favorite trail with the banked race track down to the last part of their visit. For me, my biggest disappointment was that chair 8, Mt. Everest didn't open till 1pm because it was being groomed the whole morning I was there. This is my favorite run, because it's the closest hill that you can use to work on rhythm and timing needed to carry your speed on larger mountains. This run should have been groomed in the early morning or the night before. Then, it would be ready for the daily skiers that were charged full weekend premium lift ticket prices. I've been skiing Alpine for over 30 years and it's my go to place when I want to strap on my board/skies in metro Detroit. Alpine Valley usually has it right, but yesterday they did NOT have their A game on. I hope they take notice and improve delivering what skiers expect. The seasons keep getting shorter, so lets get it right.

    I'm an experienced snow boarder and let's be clear anywhere you go in michigan sucks! However I am able to set aside the fact that there's nothing but large hills around here and give an honest review! I have never been to alpine valley before this day, and I can proudly say I would totally go back. The runs were nice. Prices just as comparable to any other resort around here and The staff was really friendly! I liked how the runs gave you some play room and weren't a straight boring shot to the bottom. They had a cross track groomed out and it was by far my favorite part. Lots of rails jumps and even a half pipe. I'm a fan. Good job AV

    See all

Bob (manager) refused to refund any of my money and I had to throw away all my blankets, pillows, clothes, a full frig of groceries. Had the nerve to suggest I brought the bugs in myself even though there are dozens of online reviews complaining about bed bugs and goes back four years. Now sleeping in my car.
