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.

This ski hill receives snowfall close to the local average every winter season. The 600 foot height difference is of course not that much to talk about, but all the other perfect properties of Big Powderhorn Mountain compensate for it. The snow here turns genuinely deep, 17 feet per season, and that is plenty for genuinely tremendous depth. With a total of 33 trails to ski on; there's
    a wonderful mixture to satisfy everyone. Big Powderhorn Mountain has a much lower than average ratio of demanding ski runs and a much higher than average fraction of blue and green trails. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, in the vicinity, you'll run into
loads of perfect locations. This ski hill has a good mixture of trails and a decent choice of great ski lifts. This ski resort has 10 good ski lifts, and they are capably maintained and operated by pleasant people. The Gogebic Range and its highlands make for a splendid sight. Getting a perfect workout and spending some quality time in the outdoors attract folks from far and near. This is a popular ski area for skiers from Merrill. There's 250 acres of terrain, and all of it makes for tremendous skiing. Big Powderhorn  
Mountain is a bigger than average ski resort having a relatively high vertical drop compared to other mid west ski hills. The snowboarding and the skiing in Michigan is loads of fun every day of the ski season. This ski mountain has a good mixture of trails; it's totally impossible to get bored here. Hotels are on hand near the base zone, and if you make reservations prior to departure, you're all set.
