Giants Ridge ski area, Mesabi Range, Minnesota

Giant's Ridge is my favorite local ski hill. I know all the people that work there and ski there. says Chris.

With a 500 foot altitude difference it's not the highest hill there is, but all the other perfect features of Giants Ridge compensate for it. There are 6 good ski lifts here, and they will get you up the slope effectively. Giants Ridge has a much lower than average proportion of advanced and expert ski trails and a much higher than average fraction of green and blue ski slopes. There's 202 acres of

    skiable land, and it's all covered by snow. Giants Ridge gets blanketed by lighter snowfall than the local average each ski season. This is a family friendly ski mountain with loads of green and blue ski trails. Giants Ridge has a good mixture of ski slopes and
a good selection of ski lifts. On this slope you'll encounter 34 different trails; it's a splendid collection. The snowboarding and the skiing in this part of the country is scores of fun the whole season. A pleasant workout and just being on the ski trails for a while will make you happy you came.

here per year keeps the slopes well blanketed through the snow season. No matter if you're skiing or snowboarding, this is a region with a small number of other sites for that.
