Consistently ranked in Ski Magazine's Top Ten Midwestern Resorts, Devil's Head Lodge sprawls at the bottom of its 28 runs. A great stop for couples, the lodge has it all: indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs, several restaurants and bars, and countless recreational activities.

With one run measuring 1.5 miles—one of the longest in the Midwest—the slopes are well-maintained, frequently groomed and just steps from your room. The runs, like the lodge, are a microcosm of the Rocky Mountain experience. There are two narrow, glade-like runs, several diamonds that can get bumpy, and even one double diamond. Two terrain parks, a relatively big half-pipe and plenty of trees entice snowboarders. Five additional lifts and runs are under development.
