My biggest complaint is their snowmaking and grooming, which pales in comparison to their neighbors at snowtrails. Even with the addition of a massive fleet of TechnoAlpin fan guns this year, there was still sparse coverage on 2 of their main hills (off the double chair) after plenty of cold temp days. The groupon deals, and the lack of the crowds right now are both reasons why I would give them 4 stars. The staff was also generally happy, seemed like a "family run" kind of place. The potential lies in the terrain. They have a good glade run cut, and a natural snow trail that runs along a narrow ridge that is fun. If they cut more trails into the trees they would have a lot of variety fast. Watch out for icy sidewalks and parking lots for now.

Great Potential! This place will be a great little Ohio Ski Resort. Keep in mind, we dont have…read moreMountains here , we have hills. New equipment is great but the food is horrible and only one lift open on Christmas break. Under new ownership and breaking ground for a ton of timeshares to be built in the next year I could only expect for this place to give you something fun to do in the middle of what the heck is there to do in Ohio! However, this is a great place to learn and practice. Keep an eye on Groupon to see about deals with this place and it may be worth the ride for you.

We left after one horrible night in the Victorian Manor house. There were cobwebs and dead bugs…read moreeverywhere, upstairs bedrooms had a layer of dust on bedspreads. One shower was basically non-functional. The Master Bedroom shower had no light and the sinks drained slowly. The kitchen sink had bugs flying out of the disposer. The window AC units did not keep the place cool. There aren't any closets to hang clothes. There weren't any night stands for the master bed and it was difficult to find outlets to charge phones. The main door had a visible gap under it. There was torn/loose wallpaper throughout. This facility has seen some hard use and little or no repair. The house looked like it was being used for storage both inside and out. Outside, there were junk cars stored nearby. Everything just looked or felt dirty and cluttered. We thought that with three couples it would be a nice place to relax and socialize, but it was the exact opposite. The six of us were never SO happy to leave this miserable facility, check into a regular hotel, take a shower and feel clean again! Customer service is virtually non-existent with several contacts going unanswered and most others taking 24 hours before getting some reply. Reporting ALL these issues were dismissed even though we have photographic proof of the horrible condition! It's really unfortunate that this facility ruined our weekend getaway:-( But, I'd look elsewhere before staying here!

Last year, I took the kids to ride at the Clear Fork ATV park. It was a good experience. We had a…read moregood lunch at the onsite restaurant before paying the fee ($20 pp, regardless of age) to ride the property. There were not many people there, but I don't think the defunct-ski-resort-turned-ATV-park had been open for very long. The lodge/Bar/Restaurant building was clean and air conditioned with decent restroom facilities. Sunday was the fourth time that I've ridden the Clear Fork Adventure Park in the past two years. Unfortunately, the park was in the worst shape ever. The restaurant is permanently closed. They used to mow all of the ski hills and the land surrounding the adult and kids' dirt tracks. The kids track was so overgrown, I had trouble finding it. Almost all of the grass on the property was 2-4 feet tall. I encountered many thorny vines growing across the poorly-marked trails (dark-red spray-painted dots on trees mean wrong-way; dark-green spray-painted dots mean right-way). I used to like to ride this place on the weekend for safety reasons (rather than face the high-traffic trails at Wayne on weekends). It was a nice place to take the kids, and it's only an hour away from home. Unfortunately, it is not going to survive by charging riders $20 per day and failing to perform minimal maintenance on the property. The hours of operation are pretty strange as well: Wed - Sun, noon - 7 PM. We were told the resort has been sold two or three times, and it is currently owned by an investment group in Utah that owns 27 other resorts (this is the only one that is an ATV park).

Rental staff was friendly and the rentals were nice. Two occasions of the staff on the slopes picking which line to let people get on the lift were very rude. One even stepped on someone's binding to take off their ski and make them back up. This behavior was reckless and totally unprofessional. Other slope staff were just rude. In all, would not recommend if you're not a middle school aged boy looking to mess around and say inappropriate things

We hadn't been skiing in over two years, so getting back on the slopes at Mad River Mountain was…read moresuch a treat. Our daughter had a great 2‑hour lesson, and it was wonderful watching her confidence grow. Nicole brought her own snowboard, and I borrowed my father‑in‑law's skis--felt like a true family outing from the start. Even though the weather was warm and rainy, it didn't take away from the fun. We still enjoyed cruising down the hills together and making the most of the day. I needed a fresh pair of ski socks, and the ski shop had exactly what I needed--comfortable, warm, and ready for the slopes. Around noon we headed into the lodge and grabbed lunch by the fireplace. Sitting by the hearth with everything warm and toasty was such a cozy break. We enjoyed hot chocolate, a Miller Lite, honey hot tenders with fries, a bowl of chili, and a cheeseburger--everything hit the spot. We're wrapping up the day with a few more runs, and honestly, it's been the perfect mix of family time, fresh air, and winter fun. Mad River Mountain made it easy to enjoy the experience, rain and all. Highly recommend for families looking to make great memories together.

Now they're telling us all the boards are out and we just have to wait around for people to return theirs.

Honestly, save yourself the headache: BRING YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT because clearly they can't handle their rentals. EDIT: We were able to get the board at 9:30PM

That being said here's my take on some of the issues and why I'm giving it 2 Stars. One lift ticket prices are not representative of value. It's around $40 for a lift ticket where the chair lifts that once had safety bars on them have been removed for some unexplainable reason. That nearly all of the lifts or slowed down to a snail's pace. I can appreciate that it's a small ski area but a fast lift might increase the enjoyability of a small hill. Two we just went through a pretty disastrous warm spell which took away most of the base of this area however if given the opportunity they should be running this snowmakers at all times regardless if customers are there or not. Ohio weather is finicky and you should make snow while you have the opportunity to. For the amount of cold days and nights that we've had there was way too much Brown here. Three. The entire place is run by high schoolers. The kitchen area had for employees that were to prepare food for the school lunches styleline and the three males were busy flirting with the one female who is there. Me while it's 11:30 and there's no hot food on the line for the 13 people of mine who wanted to eat. There was no management no oversight nobody help them ramp for an impending lunch hour. Granted comparing this to the Alpine Valley of my youth where they were authority figures and managers everywhere helping the keep skiers in line and the business running smoothly. That coupled with it no longer opens in the morning and closes late at night they have very limited hours of operation. While I realize and appreciate that this is a seasonal business and they must make money while they can, it seems like there are many sailors and no Captain.

Buckeye Sports Center - Shame on you!!!…read more Saturday of last week I went to Buckeye Sports Center to pickup my skis that were being tuned and to pickup another set of older skis that I attempted to sell at their annual ski swap. My older skis did not sell and I needed to pick them up. I was late picking up my skis as a result of my Father's illness, death and funeral. Buckeye Sports Center informed me that because I was late picking up my skis from the ski swap that I was not entitled to the return of my skis or the 200 dollars that I was attempting to sell them for (for which I was to receive store credit). Please note that Buckeye Sports still had plenty of other skis in back remaining to be picked up, they just for a very odd reason did not have my skis. I gave my return ticket to the store clerk and he stated that their records indicated that someone had already picked up my skis. My response was, "well clearly you gave my skis to the wrong person." The clerk responded, "how do we know that" - implying that I was lying to him. Please note that I have been a customer of Buckeye Sports for several decades and as recently had 4 pairs of skis tuned by them. I asked the clerk to review the situation with the owner of Buckeye Sports who was in back and he did. The owner did not have the respect, nor the character, to speak directly with me and instructed the clerk to tell me that there was nothing ownership was willing to do. Thereby callously disregarding why I was late picking up the skis and completely ignoring the fact that the reason why the skis were not there was because his employees made a mistake and gave my skis to another customer who had similar skis. Mistakes happen, but there is no excuse for Buckeye Sports' poor treatment of me as their customer and unwillingness to correct the mistake that was made by their staff member. Needless to say, I will never shop at Buckeye Sports. Their actions yesterday demonstrate bad business practices and even worse business ethics.

Best in class dealership. This was my second big purchase from Buckeye, and I'll continue keeping…read morethem first on my list for any future purchases. VIP Customer Service. They did an excellent job educating me about my new boat as this is my first boat after purchasing a Hobie Pro Angler from them years ago. They put a lot of time, attention, and detail into prepping my boat so it would be water ready. They worked with me to get all the features on the boat that met my needs. VIP Treatment with the boat pickup as they were flexible with scheduling, had a congratulations sign, everyone walking on the boat took their shoes off, they consistently offered drinks/restroom, their service guys came out to answer technical questions, and they highlighted critically important parts of the manual so I may quickly revisit for review as a lot of information was covered during pick up. They don't just want to sell you, but they want to make sure you are set up for success, you are safe, and you have an all around great experience on the water and with Buckeye. Customer oriented all around. Would recommend anyone give Buckeye the first stop before looking elsewhere.
