Michigan’s ski areas are concentrated in the forested hills of the Upper and northern Lower Peninsulas, where lake-effect snow from the Great Lakes produces some of the most reliable snowfall in the Midwest. Resorts such as Boyne Mountain Resort and Boyne Highlands Resort in northern Michigan are among the state’s largest destinations, while Mount Bohemia in the Upper Peninsula is known for its steep terrain and abundant natural snow near Lake Superior. Numerous smaller ski hills across the state provide convenient winter recreation for nearby communities. With dependable lake-effect snowfall, extensive snowmaking, and many slopes illuminated for night skiing, Michigan’s ski areas play an important role in sustaining a strong winter sports culture throughout the region.
