November is right around the corner and we are still busy getting ready for the upcoming ski and snowboard season. Earlier this week, heated concrete pads were installed around the bottom lift terminals, the top of the conveyor, and the Ski Patrol entrance resulting in a safer work environment and less maintenance.
We just took delivery of a Prinoth Bison X Stage V groomer earlier this week. Winter is coming and we’ll be ready when the cold temps arrive! #whatsnew#SkiMichigan... See MoreSee Less
Caberfae is excited to announce the purchase of a new, fixed grip chairlift, scheduled to open for the 27/28 ski and snowboard season. The new Green Mountain Triple Chair will open access to additional terrain that is designed to better serve novice skiers and riders.
The Green Mountain Triple marks the resort’s third Doppelmayr chair in just 11 years, reinforcing their continued commitment to reinvest and improve the guest experience. The lift will help bridge a much needed gap from the surface lift to the East Peak Triple Chair, offering a smoother and easier progression for those learning to ski and ride.
“We are thrilled to begin this terrain expansion,” said Manager, Pete Meyer. “Our skiers and riders will now have a dedicated, lift-served area to build confidence and skills before moving on to larger, more challenging slopes.”
The multi-year project includes planning, excavation, and lift-line clearing in 2025, concrete work for the terminal and tower foundations as well as snowmaking installation in 2026, followed by the lift installation in 2027.
“Unlike our previous installations in 2016 and 2022, which replaced aging 1967 Hall Double chairs, this lift adds new capacity, increasing both our overall lift count and skiable terrain,” said Mountain Operations Manager, Tim Meyer. “This expansion improves the experience for skiers and riders of all ability levels and continues our mission of investing where it matters most - on the slopes.” #caberfaepeaks#whatsnew#SkiMichigan...

The South Peak Triple and North Peak Quad lift towers were recently shined up with a fresh coat of paint. It was a long process removing the old and prepping for the new, but the end result has the lift towers looking better than they ever have! #whatsnew#SkiMichigan... See MoreSee Less
Did you know Stonecliffe was once home to the only island ski resort in the world? In the early 1970s, “Mt. Humbard” featured ski jumps, chair lifts, a toboggan run, and even trails with names like the “Hallelujah Trail.” Despite its ambitious vision, the resort only operated for two winters before closing, earning the nickname “Humbard’s Folly.”
A fascinating (and short-lived) chapter in Stonecliffe’s history.

For just $375, you’ll score one of the best deals in skiing and riding: the White Gold Card gives you one lift ticket at each participating ski area across Michigan. That’s a ton of fresh turns, endless memories, and unbeatable value packed into one card.
But here’s the catch – quantities are limited and these cards always sell out fast. If you want in on the action this season, don’t wait.
4th and 5th Graders Ski ALL WINTER LONG with our App!
MSIA Cold is Cool Passport allows Fourth and Fifth Graders to Ski All Winter Long in Michigan! Families can obtain a Cold is Cool Ski & Ride Passport App for their 4th and/or 5th graders that gives them up to three free lift tickets or trail passes at 29 participating ski areas, plus additional discounts on the slopes and in Michigan ski shops. MSIA charges $30 for the passport; $25 covers operating expenses and $5 goes to MIsnow, a new charitable organization that helps get underprivileged kids out on our slopes & trails in the winter. MIsnow also works to preserve the strong cultural past of Michigan skiing and protect its future with sustainability education.
In addition to the lift tickets donated by the participating ski areas, Cold is Cool Passport also includes a coupon for 20% off a helmet purchase and $20 off the purchase of $100 at participating ski shops across the state. Some ski areas have also included coupons for equipment rental and free or discounted lessons.
The Passport is an app to download on your phone, making it contactless at the lift ticket window.
Once the application is complete, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download the app.
To get a lift ticket, you will bring your child and your phone (or other device that you have loaded the app on) to the ski area. Show the offer you want to redeem to the ticket attendant and press the redeem button to receive your child’s lift ticket or other offer in the Cold is Cool App. It’s that simple!
CHECK YOUR PASSPORT APP FOR EXCLUSION DATES AND THE SKI AREA’S WEBSITE before heading to the slopes. Know before you go!
You can also show proof of grade at a participating ski shop and gain instant access to the Cold is Cool App. No need to wait for MSIA’s approval or upload proof of grade!
