  About the Ski resort 


Whitecap Mountain is located in the ancient and picturesque Ponokee Mountain Range.

Situated just off the shores of Lake Superior means the resort benefits from the "lake effect snow," averaging more than 200 inches annually.

With 35 trails covering three mountains, novice, intermediate and expert skiers will find a variety of options to ski. Intermediates will enjoy schussing down Grindelwald, and experts will find the bumps of Kilimanjaro a challenge.

Whitecap has a PSIA-certified Ski School offering private and group lessons. A new child care facility for ages 3 to 10 and lessons for ages 4 to 10 are available daily.

The Whitecap Lodge day chalet at the bottom of Whitecap Mountain includes: a cafeteria, continental bakery and deli, Bernie's Lounge & Bar (with an incredible view of the mountains), ski rental and repair pro shop, lodging center and ticket office.

The Mountain Haus, set at the top of Thunderhead Mountain, offers a convenient lodge and restaurant. There are plenty of lodging accommodations. Choose from lavishly appointed trailside deluxe chalets to spacious condos in the heart of the Ski Village, to budget conscious motel suites and rooms.

The Whitecap Mountains are located just 10 minutes west of Ironwood, Mich., and Hurley, Wis., off Highway 77 on County Road E.
