Friendly staff and fair prices. Alpine does a fantastic job with snow making and doesn't open up when only a couple of runs are open. Even when just one was closed, the lift tickets were discounted. The runs are fairly long and the black diamonds are a good place for beginners to take their next step.

This is probably the best place to go skiing with in 2hrs of Chicago. The lifts were fast and the trails pretty nice. My only issue was with the bathrooms and how none of the toilets flushed.

Trails are pretty short/boring. Trails are super crowded on weekend. Snow conditions during weekday are awful. Once I got there two days after it rained and hills were still full of ice so it was unsafe to ski. Looks like snow is mostly made on weekend. Conditions at Devil's Head during the weekday are great comparing to AVR. And they don t have employees who tell you to move when you fall instead of stopping the lift to give you extra time to stand up.

Horrific front desk staffing! I have been there 3 times and 2/3 they overcharged me and gave me a hassle on getting my well-deserved money back. Other than that the slopes are great, but it is a tad pricey getting in.

Went golfing with group of 8. Customer service in club house was beyond poor. Guy was super rude and unwelcoming. Spent over $300 on golf and acted like he was doing us a favor. Ranger on course was just as rude, could tell he was following us for what reason we don t know as this was not our first rodeo. No beverage cart on a busy Saturday so we had to improvise... we all agreed we would not be coming back again and we usually go once or twice per month. Sad really as they use to have friendly staff. Wish they would fire whole staff and start over or at least get them some customer service training.

If you are to take a lessons at this location I would ask for Ivan. He is a professional with 40 years of experience of skiing and snowboarding. After 2 hours lesson my son who is 12 was able to snowboard from blue and black hills making impressive turns.

Friendly staff!
They need to do a summer special for mountain biking.

Replying to the resort owner-- We stayed a few miles away in a queen room with a private hot tub for $100/night with a special rate. maybe the resort could offer a room for something close in price, or with early check-in and late check-out to give legs a break and get more laps in. Or add meal or beer specials.

Excellent ski resort, very professionally groomed slopes and good food. The architecture of the buildings was very good as well, an aesthetically pleasing Swiss style. It would do better for them to expand their number of slopes, and to reduce the amount of heavy snow at the bottom of slopes: they lead to a lot of falls for inexperienced skiiers like my girlfriend and my dad. Those are just small nitpicks though, and overall it's a good place to ski especially for families and intermediates.

Nice location and well maintained. The place and staff are family friendly. Most of the dining is cash only with at least one ATM on the premises. Food is decently priced compared to other resorts.

I booked a weekend trip for my boyfriend's birthday, and we had the most amazing time! The hills were the perfect size for us not skiing for many years, the guest service was efficient and friendly, and when I accidentally left my skis behind, they found them and set them aside for me to pick up at another time. I will definitely book here again!

It's a pretty fun midwest resort. Not really great for super experienced skiers but since it is so close to the city of Chicago it's easy. The slopes are probably the easiest I have ever skied. It is really one of the best places I have seen to learn to ski and basically get some time on ski's under your belt.

Fun
