There are 26 kilometers of groomed cross-country trails plus a new half pipe for snowboarders. The seven lifts include one triple plus a J-bar. You can use your lift ticket for night skiing, or watch the mogul action under the lights from the windows of Peggy Sue's, which features music and dancing. Add to that a panoramic view of Lake Michigan from the trails on the backside of the mountain. Sugar Loaf offers 150 slopeside rooms and an indoor pool.
Children stay and ski free midweek.
The Sugar Loaf Ski School offers Burton snowboard demos for all guests wanting to take snowboard lessons. There is also instruction in cross country skiing, telemark skiing and alpine ski racing. You can't get much closer to Lake Michigan than The Homestead. Its back trails run practically down to the beach. The ridge that tops the ski runs and provides a view of the Manitou Islands was formed by the glaciers 15,000 years ago.
