Traverse City Skiing & Snowboarding

Skiing and snowboarding are a part of the Traverse City lifestyle, so you'll find hills here to meet every taste and skill level!

For an immersive winter recreation experience head to Crystal Mountain. Located about 45 minutes southwest of Traverse City, Crystal Mountain is home to 59 downhill trails, eight lifts across 103 skiable acres, and five terrain parks.  Check out Crystal's Mountain's live slope webcams for a peak at current slope conditions.

The Mt. Holiday Ski & Recreation Area, just east of the city limits, provides hours of fun for the entire family, with skiing and snowboarding on 16 runs (beginner to advanced) and a snow tubing run with an express return lift.

Traverse City's favorite hometown ski area is Hickory Hills, located on the west side Slabtown neighborhood. This city-operated ski area offers eight downhill runs served by five rope tows. Slopes are beginner to advanced, with a 240-foot vertical drop.
