Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort 11375 Powderhorn Road, Bessemer, MI 49911

"Fantastically run, family friendly ski resort - where the friendliness of the staff really stands out, especially the lift operators! Some wonderful lodging options, well groomed runs and a great setting - all at a very good price!"

"My opinion of this place in the past.....it was not my favorite, but since blackjack and indianhead are under new ownership, and are upity upity now. This IS the place to be. Atmosphere is inviting and chill. The people are awesome and the lodge is rustic. Bloody was delicious the hill has fast, slow, and intermediate options. Its pretty sweet here."

"Do not book here. We booked a house on the hill 11 months ago. 2 hours before we check in ( from Florida) they tell me the house is not available. They ended up giving us a different house, with a completely different set up, not even on the hill. And tried to tell us it was an upgrade. Never offered a discount for the inconvenience. We booked a house with a Sauna and an arcade game for the kids. We didn’t get either. Never booked here again. No master bedroom either."

"Visiting all three hills in the area, Powderhorn is the nicest facility. Lunch was quite a bit cheaper than the other two. Only truly ski in/out lodging in the area. Some of the runs are a little flat for me but the glade runs on the right side of the mountain were pretty fun. Will definitely be back. Would be nice if they had winter camping spots. Was nice we could ski right to the parking lot and got lucky with a front spot for the van."

"Had good snow late season. All the staff were great. Very polite from the cafeteria to ski patrol to lift operators. During my stay I didn't run into one bad attitude. Runs were groomed well from top to bottom. Had fresh snow coming down that added to everything. Beautiful scenery and great runs."
