Big Valley

Big Valley is a small ski area located in McMillan in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, operating at 861 feet elevation with 85 feet of vertical drop. The modest terrain makes it a neighborhood hill suitable for beginners and families seeking accessible downhill skiing and snowboarding without the scale or drive of larger regional resorts.

Access and season depend on Lake Superior snowfall patterns typical of the UP. Winter conditions generally support operations from December through March, though early and late season reliability can vary. Given the limited vertical and setting, expect a local or regional crowd rather than destination traffic.
