I found this area listed in the AAA Guide to Winter Fun in Michigan printed in The Cass City Chronicle on Feb. 3, 1966. It said Jack Pine Valley had 3 slopes with rope tows, and snowmaking. The map places it a bit north of Port Huron in the same general area where Black Forest is sometimes shown (Black Forest is not mentioned in this list). I have not yet found any other references to Jack Pine Valley.
If you have any information about skiing here or elsewhere in the Port Huron area, please post it in a comment, or send it to us via the directions on the About MILSAP page.
My father, Steve Tomchuk, was a owner. I don’t remember if there were partners. I will ask living relatives what they remember.
