INDIANHEAD MOUNTAIN SKI RESORT & CONFERENCE CENTER
(906) 229-5181
An unusually attractive setting and a well-designed facility make this ski resort complex stand out. It's built on top of a mountain, so the massive ski lifts are less visible. Current owners have been continuously renovating the place. The 46-room main lodge, in a vaguely Alpine style, is decorated in dark green and pine wood with Indian motifs. Some rooms have bunks; all have DVDs. The lodge is planned to separate noisy younger skiers from adults. The main lodge has an appealingly designed bar/restaurant, an extremely pleasant indoor pool room, game room, exercise room, sauna, and whirlpool. In addition, there are inviting outdoor terraces, mountain bike trails, 9 holes of golf, a basketball/shuffleboard/floor hockey court, and two tennis courts. Presque Isle waterfalls in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park are 17 miles away.
     In summer Indianhead offers family vacation extras at attractive rates. Check out the Indianhead Mountain website.
