Brandywine Ski Resort Reviews

Dont sell 4 hr passes, have to pay full day. i am done riding both Boston Mills and Brandywine in an hour each. too small to not sell 4 hr passes. Greedy. for Cleveland, they do a good job tho w terrain park

Over a great resort for Ohio. Great terrain and a great time. May not be a big resort but it's Ohio and is definitely what to expect for a Ohio resort. But with that being said this resort has a great school program and great ski and snowboarding school. It has a lot of awesome events and is great time with friends and family. Overall a great resort and home for me.

Too many unsupervised kids. If your an unsupervised kid, you'll love this place.

I have always had fun and for Ohio I think these are both fun hills to ride. Always enjoy myself here.

My first time skiing since I've moved to the area. I came to the Boston mills side of the resort. It's alright, I suppose. Good for beginners. Snow was nice. Crowded AF with kids today. (Saturday).

I'm usually a solo skiier. If I come back, it will be a weekday.

There is no changing room except for the bathroom here. Put on your snow pants etc in the car or before you come.

We had a great time, little steep on snack prices. Micheal was a great on hill instructor our first time out. Looking forward to more fun times.

Fun place for teens to spend the day if they are already part of a school program, otherwise it would be too expensive.

Great service I had trouble finding the correct rentals and they helped and my son couldn't get his ski on on a hill and the ski patrol helped him great customer service

The closest ski resort to me. Grew up here, making snow and working the lifts. Sadly, learned how to ski here with some liquid courage, but I love this place! Friday nights at Brandywine are packed with college kids, though. But still the best areas in NE Ohio. Come out and ski some snow made from the old Burning River. Y'all will have fun!

The perfect place for my first skiing experience! There were 4 people in our group, two of us were snowboarding and the other two were skiing. None of us had ever been skiing or snowboarding before and we all had such a great time. We went for the late nights so that it was a cheaper price. The staff was friendly and helped so much with picking out our equipment. They have a great range of hills for anyone from beginner to professional. I would highly recommend Boston Mills to anyone who was looking for a good skiing or snowboarding experience. You're sure to have a good time here! The also have food, drinks. We cant wait to go back!

Probably the best that north east Ohio has to offer. The cost isn't terrible but still costly. Some weekdays can be just as crowded as weekends depending on what lessons are currently going on

We were at Brandywine today during the power outage. We like the resort and skiing there, but the organization during the power outage was a disaster.
I had one of my kids sitting in the lift an me waiting at the entrance. It took them more than 30 minutes to get the back up engines fired up. The got the one running after someone came with a container of gas. That s not what I call emergency preparedness.
I asked the guy at the lift if I should wait here for my son or if there is something like an assembly point for a situation like this. He told me he doesn t know and he is trying to get in contact with management but, I quote: there are all panicking .
For me the whole thing looked like a complete chaos and it seems there was nothing like an emergency protocol for a situation like a power outage.
This is scary.

Great place to learn how to ski. Very knowledgeable and experienced instructors.

It was a great time, ive been coming here for a few years and never had a bad time.

So much fun for the whole fam, a little overpriced tho

It's a nice place, but everything is super expensive. Expect to spend 90 dollars per person

Great place to learn to ski or an outing with novice skiers.

Awesome - Brandywine and Boston Mills got separate hours and enterances tho

In May, Cuyahoga Seneca valley teams up with Thomas and Friends and they have one of the engines be thomas. U purchase tickets online for the date you would like to go. Great place! Everyone is always nice and children get a Thomas certificate for riding the train that the conductor gives to them. My son loves going every year

Expensive for a mediocre experience!!! Snack bar also very expensive!!!

Great time snow tubing! Nice facility. Good family outing.

Terrible driveway and parking lot full of potholes. Very expensive only offered three hour tube riding. Should offer options for an hour.

Attended annual Artfest again this year on July 1 weekend. Excellent juried show with good mix of invited local & out of state exhibiting artists of many different media. Decent venue with very reasonable admission fee. Free live jazz. Plenty of free parking.

lotta half senders but its a good time. come prepared knowing how to triple cork.

Great place for anyone to ski. From beginner to professional, there are slopes for any skill level. Massive for Ohio. Inside of the ski lodge is quite nice. Nicely done. The food is always great and the staff are very nice as well. Well worth a visit!

A festive enjoyable art show featuring juried fine art with many artists participating. Patrons return every year & the tents make all-weather shopping comfortable.

Waiting on the line for someone for 15 minutes got hung up on 2 times. Then just to be told that tubing they had didn't open till Thursday. Maybe they should put on their website having to wait 20 minutes. Terrible service.

2nd best area in Cleveland to go skiing. The sister resort brandywine which is nearby is a larger place. Has longer runs. And can handle higher capacity. This place is nice for when you want a change of scenery from the other ski resorts. Pretty good skiing considering you are in Ohio.

Enjoyed the place and the bruises
Bit pricey for Ohio. 40 usd for a snow pass and 40 usd for snowboard and helmet rental. No other accessories rental like knee pads. Eyewear can't be rented which I understand but the cheapest was 30 usd.
Begginer slopes are still too steep for beginners and the learning slope barley has any inclination
Staff are helpful and give helpful tips

Would really like to see them upgrade the facilities. Bathrooms are disgusting, the only one of the faucets worked and one hand dryer. Management needs to ease up on people bringing in food as well. When you bring multiple kids to ski, it's quite expensive, then to tack on over-priced food and drinks, it will cost a small fortune to enjoy the day.

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.

Really great small hill skiing. The lift lines are never too long and they do all they can to keep the trails open in these unpredictable Ohio winters. Their progression parks are well laid out too. If your into park skiing/ riding you can learn and practice on a good variety of features between these two locations. Their bars are also a good time.

I work there and have since 2000, so yeah, I like this place.

Add a tag a day for Jake Brandywine is a really cool place to come party with your family and friends. They got beer in the car. We got snow on the slopes Jayco. Hashtag a day for Jay. It hasn't done any This stuff on this review belongs to us. Who are you? Why do you come here at the review? We can edit it later?

It s a great place, and I had a good time! Little unsanitary though, girl threw chunks in the main room, and it was just sitting there and nobody cleaned it up (don t blame em though)

The process to get a lift ticket and rentals was utterly confusing !!!!!! We got in line to what we thought was skii rental was actually the pick up place. After 1/2 he in line we were told to go back to the entrance and pay. Then we got back to ski pick up and we then learned the helmets were not included. Once again back to the beginning of the line. After almost 2,hrs of going back and forth we finally found some one to help us. Lucky it was the ski rental manager. She initially thought it was funny but then realized our frustration. Lots of kids having fun yet we are trying to figure this place out. Very very unorganized. A big disappointment to our family. 1-18-2019 visit.

Misleading ski packages and below average runs. Avoid if you can. Lots of entitled teenagers who throw equipment everywhere.

The art festival was amazing. So many fabulous artists sharing their skills.

Not bad, went there with the school ski club and I like the terrain park but could use couple more boxes small rainbow and like 4 more hills

Nice ski areas for beginners, vertical drop is a few hundred feet.

Only okay as a place to *learn* to ski or board. Current ownership has reduced staff at lifts, unless you are with your kids, other kids continuously cut in line. One word from an adult keeps them in line. BW used to have staff at lifts (espeicllay Shredder) managing traffic , now they have no one. In general, it s not about the skier s experience, it s about management s cost reduction. If your kids can ski/board, go to Snow Trails or NY, they invest in more modern snow making equipment and overall it s a better experience. It s actually a better value too .....this was written prior to Vail Resorts buying Peaks Resorts - jury is still out on the impact new management will have on BMBW.

Good job getting.the slopes skiable! Mother Nature is not helping you out but love to ski with what you got!

Staff was great, prices ok. Main problem was my Mom does not ski, so she was sitting on a cafeteria style chair with no back, no padding for hours!!!! Had to leave early because her back was hurting! Is management living in the stone ages??? Buy some leather sofas, chairs with a back and padding! How can you have a ski lodge with no soft sofas????
I will never return here, lodge area is horrible and uncomfortable! Owner does not care about the comfort of any skier! To rest my feet I need a comfortable place to relax, not a bar stool!!!!!! Big Lots has a huge bonded leather sectional sofa for $699. This resort needs to buy a few!!!!! I am at a ski resort not a school cafeteria!!!

Good snowboard instructor AJ gave me all the basics to get comfortable using the board. Had a great time and could make it down the intermediate Hill. Can't wait to go back if not too crowded.

Really, what are your options? Not bad for what it is, but they don't understand what customer service is. BUT, it is a good place to get out on the slopes.

For Ohio this gets 5 stars, it's no mountain but it is close and reasonably priced.

Both mountains are groomed pretty well and they are both fun to ski/snowboard. The prices at both locations are pretty much the same as other mountains in Ohio. (Can't speak for renting though)
Boston Mills has steeper runs that are better suited for more skilled skiers/snowboarders.
Brandywine has a better selection of runs, but they are more laid back.

Looks like a wonderful place to visit in the winter. Had a great time visiting with Thomas

Awesome weather for tubing! Friendly staff & plenty of tubes for everyone.

Service in the bar is terrible, the girls spend more time socializing than checking on their customers and for a small ski resort in North East Ohio it's quite over priced.

Always great to have the local place close by to rip some runs and grab a drink.

It is hard to write a review when the areas are not open after a full week of nice snowmaking weather. What's up with that Peak Resorts? Also, why is the lodge at Boston Mills still undergoing heavy renovation in the middle of December? I would think that should be been completed in early November at the latest. It seems like all Peak Resorts cares about is getting the school group sessions in (probably most important revenue for them) and the individual skiers who buy passes and tickets are an afterthought. Back in the day when the resorts were privately owned they used to bust their butts to open early in the season, close late in the season and make as much snow as possible. Corporate greed and penny pinching from an over extended corporation is running these areas into the ground.
