This promise was made over 25 years ago and we continue to stand by it. As soon as the temperatures drop, the sounds of snowmaking fill the air and within 24 hours of ideal snowmaking conditions, Ski Brule can cover two trails with enough snow to open for snowsports. October & May snowsports are a reality at Ski Brule. On average, Ski Brule's snow season spans six months!

"Ski Brule is the place I board when i am in the Midwest! Hope to see you all on the slopes this winter when I'm home between competitions." ~ Nick Baumgartner, Iron River, MI

The best terrain in the Midwest is found at Ski Brule's Rapids, Snowshoe, Woods Park & Bambie Playground. The variety of terrain welcomes everyone from those just starting to ride to pro riders. An added bonus is that Ski Brule is always the first to open and the last to close, satisfying your need for 'air' early and late season. Rails, fun boxes, spines, whales, gaps, 1/4 pipe and more await you.
