Trail Map & Mountain Stats
Snowriver Mountain Resort spans two mountains—Jackson Creek Summit and Black River Basin, which are separated by a brief shuttle ride.
After two years of major renovations to its chalets and lodge, Snowriver is now home to the only high-speed chairlift in the Upper Peninsula, the Voyageur Express 6-pack at Jackson Creek Summit, which reduces lift times from nine minutes to just three minutes from bottom to top.
Come ski the Upper Peninsula's most diverse terrain and enjoy legendary powder days following lake-effect snowstorms.
