Our Story

Steeped in History, Rooted in Community

Where Tradition Meets Family Fun

At Mulligan’s Hollow, we’ve been creating memories for generations. What began as farmland in the late 1800s and later served as a Coast Guard boot camp during World War II has since transformed into a beloved local ski hill. Officially dedicated as a park in 1973, Mulligan’s Hollow has been a cornerstone of the Grand Haven community for decades.
 

Since 2009, Mulligan’s Hollow Ski Bowl has been operated by a non-profit organization, driven by the passion and dedication of volunteers, local families, and generous donors. We’ve always had one mission: to make skiing and snowboarding accessible, affordable, and fun for everyone in our community.

The Magic of
Our Slopes

With 6 slopes, 5 classic rope tows, and night skiing, Mulligan’s Hollow offers an authentic skiing experience for all skill levels. Check out our trail map, learn the rules of the hill, and get ready for an unforgettable day on the snow.​

Why We're Different

At Mulligan’s Hollow, we do things a little differently. Our focus is not on fancy lifts or high-end amenities—we stick to our roots. With our vintage rope tows and six beautiful slopes, we offer a simple, authentic skiing experience that puts family and community at the forefront. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Parents Always Ski Free: We’re all about bringing families together on the slopes, which is why every parent skis free when they come with their children. It’s our way of encouraging families to bond and build memories without worrying about the cost.

  • Community-Driven and Volunteer-Operated: Mulligan’s Hollow thrives because of the hard work of local volunteers and generous donors. From maintaining our slopes to upgrading equipment, everything we do is made possible by our community. When you ski with us, you’re supporting a community effort.

  • Affordable, High-Quality Programs: We’re committed to making skiing and snowboarding affordable for everyone. Our lift pass scholarships, low-cost lessons, and school programs ensure that anyone who wants to learn and enjoy the slopes can do so without financial barriers.
