Gloriously located within the Lake Superior Snow Belt, we’re typically graced with awesome snow all winter long.

With several downhill ski resorts located 30-60 minutes away, and many dozens of miles to explore on cross country skies, the Northwoods of Wisconsin is a skiing mecca. Plan your winter trip to the Northwoods and make the Sportsman Motel your home base for all your snowy adventures.
