Winter Planning Guide

Cross-country skiing is rapidly emerging as an important part of the Copper Harbor winter recreation scene. Rare, late-season skiing is the norm here given our long winters. With an average of 270" of powdery snowfall, the trails are usually blanketed in white. Copper Harbor 's Ski Club is made up of volunteers around the area who groom the trail system daily.

The groomed trails offer easy going, scenic woodland and open terrain pathways as well as challenging, scenic pathways for any cross-country devotee.

If you are willing to break trail, there are endless opportunites for exploration.

Near-by Eagle Harbor has some beautiful groomed trails too!
