Grew up skiing here and loved it... great place to learn and close to home! Wonderful addition to the community. Gives the local kids and families a clean atmosphere while getting the kids some exercise.

Overview of Pines

Pines ski area is a great place for learners and pros at snowboarding or skiing. They have rails jumps and a bunny hill with a tow rope. The Value may not be so great but the hill is.

I LOVE THE PINES SKI AREA HOWEVER IT WAS BETTER WHEN CHRIS MARSHALL OWNED IT THAN IT IS NOW BUT THE PEOPLE ARE NICE AND YOU CAN GET WHAT EVER YOU WANT OR NEED HERE FROM LESSONS TO NEW EQUIPMENT ITS A GREAT PLACE FOR THE FAMILY
The kids have a great time snowboarding there, they added new things for this winter, we drove by this summer to look at it, and they're already waxing there boards for the snow...we have a great time!
The Pines is close to chicago. Its small but a great place to take the kids without killing the budget. If you want bigger hills take the 3 hour ride up north. If you want a quick inexpensive get away go here.

Only okay to learn to ski/board
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/24/04
The Pines is way too small. The only chair lift has broken down 2 of the times I have been there. It's an okay place to learn to ski but you can only go do the few slopes so many times before getting bored/fed up.
