Nordic Mountain Ski Resort
More skiing is available south of Stevens Point about 40 miles on Mt. Morris, WI. Nordic Mountain is a great ski hill for beginning skiiers, and a fun hill for everyone. It definately qualifies as a small ski resort, but if you want a challenge and have never tried T-bar (surface) lifts before, you must give them a try! Chair lifts are available too. From Dreams of Yesteryear, this would be an easy afternoon trip. Or if you're driving up from Chicago or southern Wisconsin, you could catch some runs on Nordic before heading to Stevens Point to stay. Cross-country skiing is also available at Nordic Mountain.
