Reviews

With three separate villages, Shanty Creek is a great family friendly resort to ski in Michigan. Lift tickets, season passes and accommodations are well priced. There are true ski in/ski out condos right on the slope side for rent. Lift lines are never too long, great ski school and beginner environment. For Apres, go to Shorts brewery, or Ivans. Resort shuttles will take you into Bellaire and between the three villages. Outdoor heated pools and hot tub tubs make it an overall fantastic experience!

Grew up skiing here, Skidoo! Always been great intermediate to advanced runs. I was appalled at the cost of new equipment now, so look for swapmeets.
