General Comments/Likes

This small hill became a hot spot for college skiers from Michigan State in the mid 90’s. It is a easy hike and a fun place to practice jumps and turns. Great place to build a kicker and session. Close to MSU and great food.
Small small hill, great fun.

Dislikes

SMALL Hill, no lifts, not much snow, not much vert.
