Detroit Mountain Recreation Area

Well organized ski rental system. Pretty new facility with a mountain feel. Usual sized "mountain" for the upper Midwest. Well groomed slopes that are really wide if not long. Gets a little rough when it's windy on the top. Seem overly strict about going into the trees. Have well maintained cross country ski trails and a short fat bike loop in the winter as well. Summer mountain bike trails are fun and well designed. My favorite part are the "kickers" on the trail edges and they should keep adding more. Watch out for the bottoms of corners. They get really sandy after rain and can lead to a quick fall. 8 bucks to ride the trail just for a quick loop seems a lot, but when they are fully open you can spend a day riding the trails with some fun machine built berms that you don't find on volunteer managed trails and that seems worth it.

The lodge's atmosphere is fantastic. The hill itself is exactly that, hills. I found the ski hill staff to be great for the most part but we did run into one unnecessarily strict employee working the bunny hill. I give the food a c- .

This little ski mountain is a real gem! It is super easy to get to when we are up visiting family in the area! The kids have a blast on the hill and in the really well appointed park. The adults enjoy gathering in The lodge for a beer and Irish coffee and can see the kids coming down the mountain! Rentals are super easy so we don't have to travel with equipment! Great customer service and a really friendly atmosphere.

A group of us went to Detroit Mountain to go tubing! We all had a blast! There is no work involved... Ride down the hill on the tubes and up the hill on the conveyer belt! When we wanted to warm up, we went inside and has hot chocolate. It was a really fun activity for our group!
