Marquette Mountain Resort

A friend of mine and I are touring midwest resorts up in da UP and were at Marquette last week. Of note, the town itself is exceptionally charming, full of breweries, local bars, interesting g little sandwich shops,boutiques and such that it reminds me of Fort Collins, Colorado in the 80s. The resort is great, the skiing was above bar due to the heavy snowfall that was going on while we were there. You have a couple of bars to try, but this place has a great tailgating attitude where you can hang with and get to know folks from all over the Midwest. Chairs are slow which also allows you to chat up a new friend and enjoy the ride. There are treed areas for all, random huts to chill at on the hill, and a great place to run groomer laps overall. Hope to go back before the season ends,they hav

Great local hill for people in the Marquette area. Looker’s right is standard Michigan terrain, mellow but fun. Looker’s left the terrain is more challenging off the River Chair, and you get some sections and views with exposed Canadian Shield that feel like you’re out west. Visit the T Bar and have a Bloody Mary. I got mine spicy.

Great ski area close to Marquette. Food was OK. Grooming was good. Sculptures on the hill were fantastic. Wish the middle chair was open. Fun place to ski.

We went for the cheese wheel race, first timers from out of town. The location is beautiful and the facility is very welcoming. The cheese wheel should not be missed if you're in town for this annual event!

Better skiing than expected! Some of the runs were pretty steep, and several had some small cliffs and large boulders to navigate around. Some good longer trails. Beautiful views of lake Superior too. Fun, quirky vibe to the resort with a couple metal artworks around. Lots of stuff to do in the area and less than an hour from pictured rocks. Definitely worth a visit!
