Nice little local ski hill. Snow and runs were good. It was pretty empty on a weekday so we got a lot of runs in. Kind of pricey for how small it is though.

Best ski resort in the area.
Easy drive from Chicago
The chair lifts are great, they get you to top of the hill so quickly!
-If your not going out west go to Alpine.response / report this review -

I love coming to Alpine Valley during snowboarding season. Diverse, wide, smooth runs, friendly staff. Would have been five stars if price to portion ratio of food was better; that is definitely sub-par too say the least

I went as a chaperone for a middle school ski club trip. The kids had a great time and I enjoyed sitting in the lodge and relaxing by the fire. Staff was very friendly. Would have liked to comfortable seating such as arm chairs or couches.

Actually a really fun old golf course. Skiing, well I have ridden the west for years and I'm not impressed anymore. The lodge however had had some nice updates and seemed to be a nice place to hold events.

Pee and Flee: That is all my wife and I wanted to do the morning after we were given this room.
I have pictures of every detail that I will describe in this review.
First the good. The front desk personnel were delightful. I was given a sheet to fill out for my car registration and the lady behind the desk saw me squinting to read the form. I forgot my reading glasses in the car and she cheerfully offered her own glasses to me. I was touched and very pleased with this person's intuition and thoughtfulness. Little did I know that this was just a little minion guarding the gates to Hades!
I was given the last room available because of all things it was the Saturday of Jimmy Buffet's concert and every room was booked. I twinged at forking over $244.00 but circumstances dictated that I must. After all this was a "resort".
At first glance I thought that the old, worn, furniture in the lobby was quaint and a touch of the "old" daysbut then..
As I entered the door leading to the hallway to my room, the concrete was literally crumbling beneath my feet. I thoughthmmm.perhaps a little patch work could be done here.
But hey.what's a little need of a concrete slab repair.
Thenwe opened the door to our "Ski to your door room"
Only the cast members of "Naked and Afraid" would have dared commit to spending a night in this room. It was August 23rd somehow we had the first snowfalloh..that was screen on our television set!
They said that there was a panoramic view leading to the private veranda. I wish I could've seen it but I couldn't..the streaks of foggy like substance on the veranda door window- from top to bottom -prohibited this amenityI would've washed the windows myself except the streaks were INSIDE the double pain window.
When I pulled the sheets down the bed the mattress had divots. Upon inspection it was found to be the mattress springs. Undoubtedly this mattress had made hundreds of people feel like the victims of the Spanish Inquisition. The pillows felt as if they were filled with cotton balls and gauze!
The clock was blinking on 12:00 am a sure sign.that this was the doppelganger of Hotel California!!!
We were able to FIND a plug in the wall to plug in the coffee potit needed to be put on the cigarette hole, burned carpet, because there was no end table to place the pot.
The bathroom was very plushit even had running waterthe drain however was corroded and rustyand the water that we put into the coffee potwell it took several minutes for the cloud to disappear. There wasn't a towel rack to be seen.
After 8 hours of blazing sun from the Jimmy Buffet concert were we plopped on the bed just to view brown mold-like stain streaking on the ceiling tiles. fortunately we were so tire we both passed out.
We woke up early the next morninglooked at each other and the only words that came of our mouths simultaneouslywaslet's pee and flee.
I would have contested the amount of money spent on this dismal lodging facilitybut I felt that I would definitely get heaven points to let fellow unsuspecting travelers heed a warning..avoid this place at all costyou might NEVER leave.
This is a true story and I have pictures to document every detail!response / report this review -

For a short course (even from the tips) very challenging. Great course to play. Have for en from Ohio twice to play it. Will be back again.

Very tired looking building. The parking lot is a mess. The rooms were fairly clean, but still had dust bunnies around. Lights were not working, the coffee pot was broken. The bed was very uncomfortable. We won't be back

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.

I was there for golf. It was a pleasant experience. The course was well maintained, especially for this early in the golf season. They have 27 holes which makes for great replay experiences.

Pretty nice ski area. We are coming here for past 6 years or so. It's not huge, but enough for teaching our kids how to ski. It's not far from Chicago suburbs, where we live. We usually but the 4-pack in advance at ski show in Schaumburg.

Kevin, our snowboard instructor was great! He took the time to work with our group of 5 and got us from not knowing to having a basic understanding. Had a blast and will visit again!

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.
