This is the Great Lakes ski country - a region where lake-effect snow rolls in from Lake Michigan and transforms the rolling, forested hills into a surprisingly satisfying winter playground. The resort has been a fixture of Michigan skiing since it opened in 1956, and over the decades it's built a loyal following among Midwestern families and weekend skiers from Detroit, Chicago, and beyond. The atmosphere is friendly, unpretentious, and rooted in the kind of community spirit that defines small American ski areas at their best.
With around 25 runs across approximately 135 acres, served by four lifts, The Highlands is a compact resort by any measure. The summit sits at roughly 465m with a base around 250m, giving a vertical drop of about 213m. For UK visitors, the North American trail rating system applies: green circles for beginners, blue squares for intermediates (covering a wider range than European blues), black diamonds for advanced, and double black diamonds for expert only. The terrain is well-distributed across ability levels, with a good beginner and intermediate selection alongside some genuinely steep pitches on the upper mountain that give more experienced skiers something to work with. Night skiing operates on select evenings, extending the day well into the evening hours. The season typically runs from December through March, buoyed by reliable lake-effect snowfall supplemented by comprehensive snowmaking.
What elevates The Highlands beyond its modest statistics is the setting. Harbor Springs is one of Michigan's most charming small towns - a historic Great Lakes community with Victorian-era architecture, independent shops, galleries, and restaurants that draw visitors year-round. The wider Petoskey-Harbor Springs area has been a favourite retreat for well-to-do Midwesterners since the 19th century, when steamships brought holidaymakers up from Chicago. Today, the combination of genuine lakeside charm, solid skiing, and a welcoming local culture makes for a winter trip with far more personality than the trail map alone suggests.

4.9/5Je réserve habituellement moi-même les vols, les transferts, l'hôtel, la location du matériel de ski et les forfaits ski, mais cette année j'ai utilisé WeSki pour un séjour à Morzine. C'était tellement plus simple. Tout a parfaitement fonctionné - les transferts sont arrivés à l'heure et il y avait beaucoup de retours d'information tout au long du processus, ce qui vous donne confiance que les vacances se dérouleront sans problème.
Un service vraiment utile qui est beaucoup plus facile à utiliser que d'autres sites "tout compris". Il comble parfaitement le fossé entre une agence de voyage et la réservation du séjour par vous-même en ligne. J'utiliserai WeSki chaque fois que j'irai au ski à partir de maintenant.
Nous avons réservé un séjour au ski de dernière minute à Morzine via WeSki. Nous avions envisagé de réserver le séjour nous-mêmes, mais nous n'avons pas pu trouver un prix aussi avantageux que celui proposé par WeSki. L'entreprise a été super et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème du début à la fin. Je passerai certainement de nouveau par eux pour réserver un autre week-end au ski.
Une expérience fluide du début à la fin. Je passais des heures à essayer d'organiser un week-end et j'ai réussi à le faire avec WeSki en quelques minutes et pour le même prix que si je l'avais réservé moi-même. Le vol, le transfert et l'hébergement étaient tous comme prévu et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème.
