WHAT’S NEW for 2017 – 2018 at Caberfae Peaks…. Snowmaking expansion at the top of North Peak… New Snowmaking Machines – 4 new SMI PoleCats and 1 new SMI Super Polecat… A new Prinoth BR 350 snow grooming vehicle… A newly paved road to welcome you to Caberfae Peaks… and more! Here’s a summary of what’s new for 2017 – 2018 at Caberfae Peaks.
New balconies on the hotel, addition of timber trusses and renovated exterior.
Snowmaking expansion at the top of North Peak, with the addition of larger snowmaking pipe. The 6″ diameter pipe will allow for less friction loss and higher water pressure, which translates into increased snow production at the top of our ski hill.
Our focus on snow quality continues with the acquisition of a Prinoth BR 350 snow grooming vehicle. The groomer will process the snow much more efficiently and layout that beautiful corduroy that our skiers and riders have grown to know and love.
More snowmaking improvements with a new 6″ trunk line up Smiling Irishmen.
Newly paved road to welcome you to Caberfae Peaks! The improvements was a joint project between the Wexford County Road Commission, South Branch Township & Caberfae Peaks. The pavement is now over 20% wider with much improved drainage on both sides of the road.
New Snow Machines – 4 new SMI PoleCats and 1 new SMI Super Polecat

Caberfae Peaks – WHAT’S NEW 2016 – 2017
New Chairlift At Caberfae Peaks For the 2016-17 Ski Season
We are proud to announce the installation of highest chairlift in Northern Michigan! A brand new Doppelmayr, triple chair is currently being installed for the 2016/2017 season.
The new chairlift will have a top elevation of 1561′ and will provide an incredible 360 degree view of the surrounding Manistee National Forest.
The new fixed-grip triple chairlift will better serve the North Peak complex. The chair will unload at the top of North Peak 15 vertical feet higher than the North Peak Quad Chair. This will allow easy access to both the green runs on the back side (Smiling Irishmen, Easy Street, Shelter) and the more advanced runs on the front side (Canyon, Lift Line, No. 1, Cruiser).
The new chairlift will increase our uphill capacity, which will reduce lift lines at the bottom of North Peak.

Check out this ad from the 1966-67 season. If you factor in 2% inflation over the last 52 years, what would season pass prices be for the upcoming 2018/2019 season? ... See MoreSee Less
$25 in 1967 had the same buying power as $187 today.
$98.01 for single adult
My parents bought passes in that year! We had soooo much fun ♥️
We used to ski there with season passes...
Great times!
Bring on the snow!!
When was the last time we were "Skiing from Thanksgiving to Easter"?
A family pass option would be awesome.
Way back machine.
From the way back machine !
I still have my seasons pass from that year. You had to have your photo taken and it was then trimmed and laminated onto a card with your printed information and punched through with a grommet hole and cord for exterior wear. We were also members of the Caberfae Ski Club, which is still there, and provided clubhouse parking, ski lockers, a large fireplace, a grill and a bar for adults. From the days of clamp down bindings, lace up leather boots and long poles with wide baskets. There was an Austrian ski school and they played Alpen oompah music over the public address speaker system on the hills.
And no "legal disclaimer!" LOL
My great grandpa George Martin passed away in 1967... he lived in Harrietta in the last house before going up the caberfae road! It’s gone now.. burnt down in the 90’s after being hit by lightning
That’s what made it possible for our family to ski all winter when I was growing up ! ❄️ 💕 ❄️
A $35 pass would be $98 assuming 2% inflation for 52 years. It would be $262 using actual inflation (CPI).
What's New Wednesday from the Peaks: We've added more seasonal ski & storage lockers in our Rental Facility, and now have a total of 38.
Available lockers are 18" wide x 24" deep by 7.5' tall. Price is only $149 for the season and have only 6 still available. Call 231.862.3000 to reserve one for the 2018/2019 season. It's perfect for season pass holders! ... See MoreSee Less
What's New Wednesday at the Peaks: Another summer of snowmaking updgrades, with the purchase of 4 more SMI Super PoleCat snowmaking guns, and the addition of 9 SMI Polecat snowmaking towers. When the cold temps hit this November, we'll be ready! ... See MoreSee Less
