Giants Ridge is always a blast! The runs are super fun, the lifts are fast with usual short lift lines, and the terrain park is always dialed! 10/10

I love Giants Ridge! Not only is the hill great but there is virtually unlimited things to do there cause not only is it a ski hill but a mini resort to with the lodge with in a short walk or skate/pushing to the first chairlift. They do have a chalet with a really good snack line and the workers are happy to be there. My only con is that it is cold in the area but its northern MN so ‍️.

I went there last winter and honestly it was a lot of fun and the lifts were surprisingly fast and easy compared to my home town Detroit mountain, cant wait to go this winter.
