Northwoods Ski Trails

Northwoods Ski Trails is a small ski area located in Beaver Bay in northeastern Minnesota, operating at an elevation of 1,293 feet with 235 feet of vertical drop. The area offers a modest but accessible skiing and snowboarding experience in a region characterized by winter snow and forested terrain. The location sits near the Lake Superior shoreline, positioning it within Minnesota's traditional winter-sports corridor. Given its modest vertical and scale, the area serves skiers and riders seeking local or regional access rather than destination terrain. Winter conditions typically support operations from December through March, weather permitting. Access is straightforward for those in the Upper Midwest, with Beaver Bay situated along the North Shore drive corridor.
