Indianhead resort named best family ski resort

U.P. residents and Midwestern skiers already know how great Indianhead Resort is, but it's getting some national attention with an award from OnTheSnow.com.

Excerpt: Indianhead takes home the 2013 OnTheSnow Visitors' Choice Award for the Best Family Resort in the Midwest. Overlooking the Ottawa National Forest, an area known for its natural beauty and wildlife, Indianhead is a ski and summer resort in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. The 230 acres of terrain are served by nine lifts and tows and snowmaking covers 95-percent of the ski area. The 30 runs offer something for all levels: five green, 10 blue and 15 black. One trail, Voyagers' Highway, is over 40 acres in area, larger than many Midwest ski areas. Grab a burger at the Base Place and a cold one at the Red Dog Saloon located in the Indianhead Valley, at the bottom of the mountain.
