Big Powderhorn Weekend Ski/Snowboard Trip

Our annual ski/ snowboard trip! This year, we are headed to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Big Powderhorn Mountain. Previous downhill skiing and snowboarding experience is required. We will not be offering lessons. We will spend two nights at Camp Jorn YMCA’s cabin. The cabin includes bunk beds, kitchenette, and bathrooms. The trip’s price includes all transportation, lodging, meals, and lift ticket. Rental equipment is an extra fee at checkout, $70, and includes a helmet and skis or snowboard.

We will also spend Sunday morning ice skating the Glide before we drive home (optional experience). The Glide is a 0.8 mile ice skating ribbon through the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. Please bring your own ice skates. Rental ice skates are available on-site.

There is an option to place a $75 deposit at checkout – the remainder of the balance must be paid in person before registration closes.

Registration closes Feb 6th! This trip will have a mandatory pre-trip meeting with all participants and trip leaders the week of the trip at Outdoor Pursuits. For more information or to request accommodations, please email hmurphy@uwm.edu.
