I grew up in Ohio with ski club trips to Brandwine. These resorts are the only resorts in Northern Ohio and I'd say they're decent for an area that doesn't have mountains or get a lot of snow. I learned to ski at these resorts and they fix the itch when you want to go. If I lived locally I'd get a season pass. They have short runs of varied terrain to include a terrain park. There is of course a lodge where you can grab some typical junk food (burgers, hot dogs, pizza, nachos, chicken sandwich, etc) or a beer or glass of wine. However, they are a bit of a let down though if you've been to ski resorts all around the world. Nobody would plan a trans Atlantic trip for a winter vacation at one of these resorts. That being said, it's a great place to learn and keep up your skills.
