1 . Four Top Ski Resorts (旅游胜地) in Michigan, USA
Ski Brule
In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula region sits Ski Brule, a family-friendly mountain resort offering skiing and snowboarding for all ages and abilities. The resort offers 17 ski runs and 11 lifts; the property sees 150 inches of snow each year, with snowmaking abilities as well. Ski Brule typically opens for the season in late November and remains open as long as there are good snow conditions (typically until mid-April).
Mount Bohemia
Mount Bohemia is a Michigan ski resort reserved for advanced skiers only, with steep slopes (斜坡) and exposed rock formations. There are 585 skiable acres (英亩), featuring two chairlifts and a 900-foot drop. The Keweenaw Peninsula region receives an average of 273 inches of snow each year due to the area’s lake effect.
Marquette Mountain Resort
Marquette Mountain is a four-season day resort with views of Lake Superior. Unusual for a ski resort is its focus on art, demonstrated through installations like the “Guardians of the Hill”: giant sculptures positioned at the base of the mountain, made from old railroad parts and collectively weighing in at 5 tons.

Set across 5,500 acres, Shanty Creek Resort includes four distinct villages open year-round for enjoyment in northern Michigan. If you’re competitive, Schuss Mountain hosts a variety of annual ski race events; Shanty Creek also hosts the White Pine Stampede, Michigan’s oldest and longest cross-country skiing race.
