Dodge Ridge, USA

Introduction

Dodge Ridge is not one of those resorts that springs to mind when one is thinking about where to go for a few days riding. Come to think about it, Dodge Ridge is almost unknown outside of those who live in the area or by a few hardcore riders who travel around in a van searching out the small haunts. Anyway, why would this relatively new resort be of much interest? After all, it’s only been going for 15 years. Well Dodge Ridge has some 60 trails with 12 lifts which take you over a mountain that has a lot to offer, especially advanced riders, with a good series of double black diamond runs such as the trails that can be found off of lift 3. The slopes are well maintained and well set out offering something for all levels with a good mixture of trails.
