Indianhead Mountain Ski Trip - January 7-9
This might be a re-iteration of what you've already heard from Ronk, but there will be another annual Indianhead Mountian ski trip, going up on Jan 7th in the morning, skiing for 3 days and then returning on the 9th.
Tickets are currently $33, but if you go to the Indianhead website, they have a deal for a 3 day lift ticket for $76, which would save you $23 if you plan on skiing all 3 days.

This was the fifth - and last - new years I've been at Indianhead. The skiing was fantastic, great base, no bare spots. But the lift operators were asleep – I saw them knock a little girl down on the lift – she got stuck – they kept it going until she was suspended 15 feet in the air, her friends desperately hanging on to her until the lift finally stopped. A passerby helped catch her as she was dropped. The desk personnel were OK, but the heavyset guy needs an attitude adjustment. We arrived early but were not allowed to check in until an hour after check-in time because of a “housekeeping problem.” No apology, no free drink – just “try again later…” The bartenders were fantastic! Great new-years customer care! The ski school desk? Friendly, but airheads. It often took 15 minutes just to get noticed. We tried signing up for the race clinic. Arrived 20 minutes early. The clinic started at Noon. 12:05 someone finally deigned to pay attention to us. Maybe the constant “excuse me” “hello” “can you…” finally penetrated their skulls. “Sorry – it’s already started – it’s past noon!” Well friggin duh! One of the biggest let downs? The quality of the buffet. The 06/07 new years eve buffet was fantastic. Huge selection, fresh, hot, tasty. This years? Dog food. Everything was cold. The roast beef was bloody, cold, stringy and tasted awful. The ham was undercooked. The salad was limp. Mashed potatoes cold and lumpy. Two “mystery foods” that had a vaguely fishy taste. Cold, greasy chicken legs. All for only $25. The buffet the day before was not much better. Skiing – great. Bar – great. Restaurant buffet – had better at an all night truck stop at 4am. Staff – overall, inefficient, next to useless, often rude. Will I be back? No. My friends have been going for almost 18 years – they are done as well. It seems that each time the place changes owners, they cut corners more and more. If you’re going for the skiing, it’s still a fun time. Planning on staying there? Go elsewhere.
