University of Wisconsin–Parkside Ski Trail

University of Wisconsin–Parkside Ski Trail is a small operating ski area located in Somers, Wisconsin, near the shore of Lake Michigan. The area sits at 713 feet of elevation and offers 75 feet of vertical drop, making it a modest but accessible option for skiers and snowboarders in the region.

Because of its limited vertical and setting within a university landscape, this is a beginner-friendly venue best suited for lessons, practice, and short recreational runs rather than advanced terrain or extended ski days. Winter conditions in southeastern Wisconsin typically support a season from December through early March, though snowfall can be variable.
