More About Michigan Tech Nordic Ski Trails

About

Described by former US Olympic coach Lee Borowski as the best in the mid-west and equal to anything else in the country, the Michigan Tech ski trails are both USSA and FIS homologated. World class and close to home; you won't believe how great it is!

Experience world class skiing right here in the mid-west. Over 220 inches of annual snowfall means excellent early season skiing and a season that extends into April. Over 7 kilometers of lighted trails.
