Boarding at Shanty Creek

Rated one of the “Top 10 Ski Resorts
in the Midwest” by SnoCountry, Shanty
Creek Resorts in Michigan has complet-
ed a $10-million renovation and redeco-
ration project involving the hotel’s guest
rooms, public areas and function space.
The renovations temporarily closed the
Summit Mountain slopes during the
2007-2008 season. Summit Mountain’s
12 slopes will be open this winter with
several upgrades to the mountain taking
place, including terrain upgrades and
equipment upgrades. The Summit
Mountain’s most popular slope,
Greenway, was widened and expanded
for the season’s opening. Summit
Mountain will also have more snow this
winter with all-new snowmaking equip-
ment. At the nearby Schuss Mountain,
the halfpipe was moved and enlarged,
increasing the overall length and width
of the pipe. The tubing park was moved
to the backside of Schuss Mountain and
enlarged with more and longer lanes.
Located on 4,500 acres, Shanty Creek
offers 49 downhill skiing slopes on two
mountains and 21 kilometers of Nordic
ski trails, seven miles of maintained
mountain bike and nature trails, and
snowboarding and tubing parks.
