Midwest Trip to

Ironwood/Bessemer, Michigan,
in the beautiful Upper Peninsula

January 26 - 29, 2023

Price:

$350* Skier

$190 Non-skier

Trip includes:

• Three nights lodging (Thursday thru Saturday) in the Indianhead Ironwood Motel
  
• Two day lift tickets
  
• (This is a carpool trip for transportation.)

The Indianhead Ironwood motel is 6 miles from Big Powderhorn. In speaking with the owner and reading reviews this place seems to be a hidden gem. Several members have stayed here in years past and fondly remember it. Among the amenities is a refrigerator in each room, a ski waxing room, and a sauna. It is situated between Ironwood and Hurley. Ironwood is home to a great brewery and some nice eateries. It is home to the world famous Stormy -Kromer hats! Trip leaders John and Mo have a special event planned for one of our evenings in Ironwood.

 

Big Powderhorn Mountain has 45 trails with 622 vertical feet on 253 skiable acres. It has 9 double chair lifts, a terrain park, and 2 full-service bars & restaurants. Last year the area had over 200” of snow!  For non-skiers there is snowshoeing, fat tire biking, and cross-country skiing at Big Powderhorn. And the Ironwood area offers many of the same.

* The price is based on lift ticket prices from 2021-22 season. There is the possibility that the price may increase. As of today (6/16/22) there is no one taking calls at Big Powderhorn’s ski office.

 

Transportation is on your own. As in the past please contact one of the trip leaders if you wish to offer room in your vehicle for possible carpooling OR if you wish to be part of another’s vehicle. Mo will let everyone know who may be on the list & you can work out possible carpools.
