Copper Peak

Making a comeback after over 20 years, Copper Peak’s future will include ski flying, but not today. Instead, enjoy the ride! Hike the North Country trails that follow gushing waterfalls along the Black River Scenic Byway and enjoy beautiful fall colors. Coming soon, (12 miles of ) mountain biking trails will also be featured near the base of Copper Peak.

From the start of the top chute, Copper Peak’s rocket-steep in-run forms a descent three times greater than Niagra Falls. The scenic views are breath-taking, the air is stronger way up there. Test your own fears, ride the chairlift, then take the 24-story elevator to the top of the 300 ton steel scaffold super structure. Close your eyes and imagine the thrill fliers feel with windspeeds over 70 mph or dropping 95 feet per second from its peak! It might take your breath away again, but no worries, it’s built to withstand winds in excess of 190 mph and designed to sway up to 18 inches in strong winds!

Copper Peak is one of six ski flying hills in the world – the only one in the Western Hemisphere. It is the largest artificial slide in the world. Copper Peak rises sharply, anchored solidly into a 364 foot ancient rock formation. The mountain, the majesty, one of the first points that peeked through glacier ice a billion years ago. Lake Superior, formed by glaciers, Copper Peak, formed by man.

Copper Peak is located 10 miles north of Ironwood, Michigan, on County Road 513. Take in a breathtaking view of Lake Superior, Canada, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
