Blackjack Ski Resort, Michigan
The Lake Superior Snowbelt
Blackjack Ski Resort is nestled in the beautiful Black River Valley in the Lake Superior snowbelt of Michigan's western Upper Peninsula and has become a weekend hideaway for local skiers and destination skiers. With lower lift ticket rates, it is a great place for families on a budget.
Forty percent of the runs are designated black diamond runs and several intermediate runs are quite challenging for experts.
The "rustic" base lodge has everything from a ski apparel shop, rentals, nursery, cafeteria, restaurant and bar and apres ski music on weekends.
