It’s time for the annual surveys!
We know the weather was crazy, and the season was way too short, but we made 39 million gallons of water into snow and skied 67 days, which isn’t bad for having less than 100″ of natural snow from Mother Nature!
If you skied or rode at Mont Ripley this winter we’d like to hear about your season!
Community members and Michigan Tech students are invited to fill out the annual surveys to help Mont Ripley continuously improve your experiences!
