We're Still in Winter Mode!


Even though it's up around 50ยบ out today, we know we're going to dive right back into winter, & we're ready! Our snow tubing hill will be ready for sledders this Friday, and we'll be ready to jump into dog sledding & horse-drawn sleigh rides as soon as we've got enough snow back on the ground!


Bundle up for when you hit the hill at Sundance Slopes! You’ll have a blast sliding down our 660 ft. run, & then catching the tow rope back to the top. Race your friends down the hill, form a chain, & get a running start to really pick up some speed! Make sure you don’t miss the Hot Cocoa Bar in the Warming Hut, where you can get a bottomless cup of Hot Cocoa & then get to customize it in any delicious way you would like!

There’s a couple different factors that determine the speed of snow tubing each day. Check out the chart below to get an idea of what the speed on the hill will be like on the day that you visit. You can check our most updated schedule at the Sundance Slopes Webpage


You may think that traveling by four-wheel drive is the best way to get around in the snow, it’s only because you’ve never traveled by Dog Sled! Our team of eager sled dogs will pull you on a whirl-wind ride around the rolling acres of the snow-covered Thoroughbred Golf Course for a trip you won’t soon forget! If you’re feeling ambitious, you can even sign up for Mushing Lessons to learn how to drive the team of dogs yourself! Check the JJ Journal while you’re here to find out when you can make treats for your favorite sled dog as well!

                    

Looking for a more laid-back or romantic way to enjoy the snowy woods of West Michigan? Bring your family aboard one of our Double JJ Sleighs, pulled by a team of draft horses. You’ll enjoy the quiet sounds of the horses as you glide through the woods, cozied up under some blankets. For a more romantic sleigh ride, book a private vis-a-vis ride for you & that special someone & enjoy the wonders of winter with no interruptions.

As always, we offer horseback trail rides year-round, although the rides may all be restricted to walking speed if the weather conditions mean going any faster would be dangerous for either the horse or rider.

All of our activities at the Double JJ Resort are open to the public, as well as guests who are staying in one of our accommodations. Simply contact the front desk at 1-800-DoubleJJ if you’d like to participate in any of the above activities, as reservations are strongly encouraged!

Happy (Snowy) Trails!
