Alpine Valley Ski Area

My first experience with skiing so nothing to compare it to but overall a fun experience. The instructors esp Mark were WONDERFUL!! So patient and kind and truly made the trip enjoyable. All of the staff were very professional and courteous with the exception of the 1 young jerk with the rental equipment. The lodge itself was old and not very clean. We came at the very end of the season so no crowd at all but also no group lessons. Individual lessons plus lift tickets which were never used made it very expensive. The magic carpet thingy didn't even work!!

Alpine was definitely better back when we were kids. Sometimes we actually get snow it’s fun to shred the fresh pow. They definitely have a nice little park every year. Just the hill is smaller compared to other ones just means more runs in. But this place will always be one of my favorite spots to snowboard always so close to home you can’t beat it. And growing up here as a kid brings back so many good memories will all my friends. It’s cool we can still all meet up and have fun together!

Close to the house, they do a great job of making snow. The staff is friendly but needs a major overhaul. Been in the condition it's in sense 20 yrs ago now. Overall 3 out of 5 stars

$701 for a season pass in august, and it will only get more expensive. it is so much more over price then it was with the old owners, I understand you get other hills like mont holly and more, but you also got to get rides and pay more in gas. the most I would pay for alpine is probably $500, because how small the variety of hills and over priced the the food is, and that is still more then it’s worth.

Our grandson had an amazing time, which is great so I would like to give this place a 5 star rating; however, I feel it prudent to include that we were advised to be there an hour early and we were but we still ended up being late for our kiddos snow board lesson because the place was packed! Also, it was quite cold, and both of the hot cocoa machines were out of order. The most important thing to mention, though, is that there was wood fencing rather than adequate protection for novice skiers and snow boarders alike at the bottom of the bunny hill. There should have been something softer like hay bales or possibly old tires.

Enjoyed my first time there with my family and friends. I would have given it 4 stars but the rope run near the bunny hill was not working and the chair lift near the middle can’t remember which run it was was dangerous. It had a buildup of snow and was moving way too fast so if guys skis were dangling down at it you would be pulled off the chair. The runs themselves are what you expect for lower Michigan. Nothing too great but still fun. They have a terrain park for the thrill seekers. It is close to home so I’ll be back soon.

Had season passes for 22/23 season and plan on doing the same this year. Great for family or if you just want to get out of the house for a few hours

Not too busy, everyone's pretty spread out. My 12 year old some had a snowboard lesson and loved it. The instructor was amazing with him and it was more of a hang out with them so my son was much more attentive. We had amazing cocoa afterwards, the hornets nest has a great view and warm drinks for the adults. The rental process was easy as well.

Alpine Valley is a destination! It is a fabulous place to ski/board at. We love the awe-inspiring in and outdoor environment! It's a great place to just walk n hang around. We used to live at the base of 'the mountain'! We have been going here for many years, and bonding as a family. The owners seem to understand what people want. I have always sensed order here. Can not say enough about A. V. !!! OUTRAGEOUS BOARDING AREA, no pix yet!!! M. E. F. Waterford

Over all great experience here. Place was kinda empty which was great!!Also snowing so even better. Great hills for teaching and everything else! So mountain is great but the rest not so much almost 5 stars needs some work
