| 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.
Easy to Get There. From southern Michigan, take I-75 north
to I-2 west. Turn onto Blackjack Road, 3 miles east of Bessemer. From southern
Wisconsin, take U.S. 51 to Ironwood to U.S. 2 east. Turn onto Blackjack Road,
3 miles east of Bessemer. Blackjack is only 150 miles from central Wisconsin. |
