Big Powderhorn Mountain ski area, Gogebic Range, Michigan

I used to live right by Big Powderhorn Mountain and we would go there very weekend of the season back in the old days. says Jean.

The annual snowfall is more or less average at this ski mountain. This ski hill has an acceptable collection of trails and a reasonable sum of lifts. This is a large ski mountain having lots of vertical feet compared to other mid west ski mountains. This ski resort has a much lower than average ratio of demanding ski trails and a much higher than average ratio of green and blue trails.

    This ski area has 250 acres of skiable area, and all of it makes for magnificent skiing. This ski mountain has so much great snow, 17 feet every season, and that is one of the best traits of this ski mountain. The picturesque snow covered Gogebic Range highlands
are a real skiing and snowboarding paradise. With a 600 foot drop it's not the highest hill there is, but Big Powderhorn Mountain compensates for it with other things. All 10 ski lifts at this ski hill are competently taken care of and controlled by welcoming folks. Michigan gets extremely picturesque in winter; it is so picturesque for skiing and snowboarding. Skiing and snowboarding here in Michigan is so much fun throughout the winter. On this hill you'll find 33 different ski trails; there are plenty ski trails
