Marquette Mountain
A ski area about a 5-minute drive south of town, with a vertical drop of about 183 m, where you can ski with views of Lake Superior.
Marquette Mountain lies about 5 km south of downtown. With a vertical drop of about 183 m, it is one of the largest vertical drops in the Midwest, with about 25 runs and night skiing. The summit overlooks the city and Lake Superior. Lake-effect snow brings plenty of powder in winter, and the ski season usually runs from December to March. In summer and autumn, the surrounding mountain bike trails are open for riding. Lift tickets are more affordable than at large resorts, and equipment can be rented on site.
Opening hours
Ski season: about 10:00-20:00
