ONTONAGON — Porcupine Mountains Ski Area, located in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Ontonagon County, has been temporarily closed until inspections on the triple ski lift have been performed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
The ski area is operated by Gogebic Community College in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The remaining ski area will remain open for winter activities that do not require the lift, including snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
It’s anticipated that the ski area will reopen next week once inspections have been completed. The reopening date will be posted at PorkiesFun.com.
