The terrain is diverse enough to accommodate skiers of all difficulty level
s. The resort has existed since the 1960s, and has called itself "the snowiest ski resort in Wisconsin." In January, 2019, the main lodge suffered a devastating fire, which the new owners are pledging to rebuild. A fire in 2019 destroyed the resort's lodge. No one was injured, and the resort stayed open. As of 2025, it's owned by Midwest Skiing Company LLC. In November 2025, the resort filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, blaming extremely low snowfall for interfering with revenue.
