Snowboarding in the Keweenaw Peninsula
We visit the Keweenaw Peninsula for a few days of snowboarding. The riding starts at Mount Bohemia, a place known for its ungroomed terrain and backcountry riding. The Mount Bohemia powder is all natural snow with the Keweenaw Peninsula averaging over 270" per season. The large amount of runs and terrain leads to endless riding adventures. To let you know, this place is a ton of fun but it is not for beginners!
Next up we head to Hancock to ride at Mont Ripley. This unique skill ski area overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway with views of Houghton and Hancock, including the lift bridge connecting the two. Night riding at Mont Ripley is a must! To go along with the snowboarding and skiing, there are also tubing runs at Mont Ripley.
