Snowriver Mountain Resort is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Wakefield Township, Gogebic County. Snowriver Mountain Resort is in an area called "Big Snow Country", so named because of the annual 200-inch (5.1 m) average snowfall, courtesy of the lake effect from Lake Superior. It consists of the Jackson Creek Summit, formerly Indianhead Mountain, and Black River Basin, formerly known as Blackjack.
