Pine Knob Ski and Snowboard Resort in Independence Township, Michigan

“The hills, equipment, facility and dining areas are all very "ski resort" quality and there's no complaint there. The issues are with the management policies and the staff. We encountered three issues with my child's ski club this season that are all resort management / employee related. First was the "sign up by" deadline. We signed up by the date that was provided from the school, but the price increased due to…”

“I cannot say enough good things about my ski day today. 40 year old first time skier. Nothing but good from the start. Gal at the front desk (wish I got her name) - so helpful. She showed and helped each of us with our lift tags and gave perfect directions on what to do and expect next. All the folks at the boot and helmet station were so helpful and really nice. Next our instructor showed up and took us every step…”

“Great Time! This was my first time here and I had a really great time. Everyone was nice and helpful. The lounge was nice and the food was ok. Although they were busy and having issues with their computers, the service was fast and everyone was friendly. The lift attendants and ski patrol were attentive and very friendly. The slopes were decent for the area and the had some really ompressive terrain runs with rails.”

“Just moved to Michigan and wanted to try skiing in the mitten. This resort was the closest, so I decided to give it a try. It was ok, but overpriced for what you get. I can ski at a resort in Utah that is three times the size for only $19.and sometimes only $9 for a lift ticket! I came to ski there on a Friday expecting to pay $56 like their website said and instead was charged $69! After telling the cashier that I…”

Before ordering, I clearly informed our waitress that my toddler has a life-threatening egg allergy. The waitress checked the bun label and confirmed it was egg-free. Despite this, my daughter was served the wrong bun containing eggs. She had an allergic reaction with lip swelling and…”

“Great place, and skiing/boarding. No communication on purchase time limitation/windows on website or on entrance. This may affect your gas cost and travel times total. Attitude will be given if you ask questions for where that is communicated so you can plan around this non-comminicated norm specific to pine knob. Most businesses communicate lift times and any restrictions so you can plan your trip accordingly.…”

“The best place to ski in lower Michigan. 144 snow guns keep the Knob powdered up. The maintainance and ground crew are top-notch, and chair lift operators do their best to keep skiers and snowboarders safe and moving to the top! Ski Happy at Pine Knob.”
