MICHIGAN TRICKS
Make your way to Michigan’s The Highlands for access to the Midwest’s most exceptional terrain parks. Its five diverse parks—including large jumps, complex rails, mellow rollers, and the state’s only halfpipe—make the ideal training ground for every level of skier and rider.
NORTH PEAK POWDER
When snow’s in the forecast, put North Peak at the top of your itinerary—both for the powder and for the view. Be sure to break out your camera when you hit the summit to have the entire resort in the background. And on a clear day, you can even spot the Mackinaw Bridge.
FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
The Highlands boasts not only 435 acres of skiable terrain with 55 beginner, intermediate, and expert runs, but also the longest ski run in Michigan: North Peak Pass, coming in at a cool 1.25 miles long. Before you get to cruising there though, hit up Heather, an iconic blue run that makes for a solid warmup.
Local Hack
Keep an eye out for The Highlands guest services representatives—they’ll be the ones roaming the resort doling out free chocolate chip cookies and hot cocoa.
