Try getting to the face early if you don't want to have a massive line at the main yellow lift; otherwise the blue, purple, and back red lifts should be the place to go because they always have little or no waits.

I've used Liftopia several times to various resorts around Northern Michigan. Love the pricing! Shanty Creek is a nice resort. Some great runs and short lift lines. Glades were not open yet this past weekend but experienced them last year and loved it!

Michigan has been dry so far. I figured the skiing on all man made snow would be marginal at best but the conditions at Schuss were very good considering the lack of God made snow. Note: we went to Shanty Creek to start our day and were told that they are not open yet. We had to jump back in the car and drive over to Schuss. Since we passed it on the way up it would have been nice to know to go to Schuss Mountain to begin with.

We just got back from 2 great days at Schuss! We have been coming here for 30 years and always feel welcomed, especially by Roger and his staff at the Pro Shop. They treat us so well and make sure we have whatever we need! The runs were great and Liftopia made the lift ticket process this year slick to do and friendly on the wallet.
Will use Liftopia again next year!!!

Liftopia was an excellent steal for Shanty. Despite being late in the season, shanty had all of its runs open. There was no wait to get on any of the ski lifts and the staff was extremely friendly. If you're gonna be there for the weekend, you should check out renting some of the condos nearby.

For the price it was a fine outing. Relative to other nearby Michigan ski hills, it was as good as the other destinations. Snow conditions were fine as well. However, lines and for that matter, other skiers, were non-existent! In Shanty Creek's defense, it was late in the season

My husband and I took our 6 and 8 yearold this past weekend and had a great time. We all want to go again!

We took our 4 and 6 year olds skiing for the first time there and it was perfect. the staff was great and it wasn't too crowded. Just perfect for us.
If you sign up for lessons, make sure you get there 45 minutes prior to the start of your lesson to get registered and get your rental equipment. It is best to enroll online.
Also, call Shanty Creek for lodging rentals. It is a lot easier than trying to find them on your own and you'll be happy you did.

Just had a great 2 days at Schuss. On Friday, lines were so short, we hardly ever had to wait for a lift. Saturday was busier, but still nothing compared to other ski areas nearby. Loved how all lifts converge in the same area at the top - made it easy for our family to ski different hills based on varying skill levels and find each other again. Staff was very friendly! Liftopia saved us lots of money - will use it again!
