Brule Cafe At Ski Brule - Iron River

We took our 5 year old, Charlie, to ski brule for the first time in January and they recommended putting her in their “ski wee” program and we are so happy that we did because she absolutely loved it! They had her on gentle Ben independently the first day and skiing around cones by the 2nd session. After about 4 ski wee sessions they said she was ready for a 1:1 lesson. She didn’t want to do the 1:1 so instead I just took her to the bunny hill and skied with her for the next several weekends. She got really comfortable on the bunny hill and then this past Easter Sunday she was ready to try the chairlift! Not only did she master the chairlift with ease, she also conquered maple syrup over 5x and homestead twice! She is officially a snow skier and we would like to thank all the staff at ski brule for helping make it a success for her! Thanks to all her “ski wee” teachers, the rental ski workers, the lift guys, and the lodge staff! Special shout out to Kyle at rental’s and Sara at ski wee! Sara you went above and beyond to make Charlie feel supported through this whole journey! All the extra efforts you made helped give her the confidence she needed to achieve her goals! Thank you ski Brule! We got season passes for next year so we will ski you very soon!!

We were really excited for breakfast only to learn they don’t do it anymore even though it’s advertised. If we knew we would have eaten elsewhere super disappointed

My family planned this vacation for after Christmas when we got here i thought it looked cool, especially because of the hot tub. But it sucks here 350+ dollars a night for a mouse infested place. I can't sleep because of how terrible the bedding is, the fireplace is covered up why even have one if it's unusable? The dishes are barely clean. The only thing decent about this place are the nice people.

Went for NYE awhile back (to the restaurant, not sure if that is the same as the cafe) views are great with the torch parade and the inside is fairly cozy if not perfectly kept up. Food was very mediocre. Talked to some interesting people including Nick Baumgartner’s mom which was a highlight. Not overly impressed by service or management, but it was fun.

My three children and I have been going to Ski Brule for decades now and until this year I had not realized how truly wonderful and special the time with family is and how badly we miss this place for families like ours. My youngest is soon to be in college and the thought of not spending these weekends skiing with him is a hard pill to swallow so we hope and prey things get back to normal soon. Although we can not go out west every weekend we will be headed back to Vail but for only a few days of skiing but honestly Ski Brule just has a way of making weekends special for families. This is certainly a blessed place!
