Michigan Tech Ski Trails

Michigan Tech’s cross country ski trail system, located right across the street from the Student Development Complex, includes 35 kilometers of the best skiing in the Midwest. Grooming takes place daily and the system includes 7.5 kilometers of lighted trails, making an after-class outing a breeze for students.

The Tech Trails are nationally recognized for the quality or skiing, consistency of grooming and variety of terrain. The trail system, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, hosted the US Junior National Championships, and U.S.Senior National championships, along with regional races.

With Houghton’s average snowfall approaching 250 inches, the season usually opens in early December and continues into April. Students ski free; community members can purchase a reasonably priced pass.
