Whitecap Mountains
The Whitecap Mountains is a ski resort located in the town of Anderson, Iron County, Wisconsin (postal address Upson, Wisconsin, and located west of Montreal, Wisconsin). It has a 400-foot (120 m) vertical drop with 43 ski trails which are serviced by nine lifts. The runs are spread out over three mountains and 500 acres (2.0 km2) of terrain.[1] The mountains are nestled in the Penokee Mountain Range 16 miles off of the southern Lake Superior shoreline. The terrain is diverse enough to accommodate skiers of all difficulty levels.[2]
A fire in 2019 destroyed the resort's lodge. No one was injured and the resort stayed open.[3]
