Kettlebowl Ski Area

Kettlebowl is a small ski area near Bryant, Wisconsin, founded in 1956 and run as a non-profit operation by volunteers of the Langlade County Ski Club. The name Kettlebowl comes from the Kettle Moraine, a large moraine, or glacial deposit, in Northern Wisconsin. The Ice Age Trail route passes through Kettlebowl. The ski area has cross country ski runs and a small vertical drop (325 ft) and features five rope tows and seven ski runs, including a "baby" hill. There is a small ski-chalet with indoor bathrooms and a kitchen where volunteers make food and offer it for sale to support the operations of the ski hill. Getting to Kettlebowl is a short ride on Hwy 52 from Antigo, Wisconsin. On weekends when the ski hill is open, a bus service is available to carry local children. During the 2008-2009 season, 3,881 skiers and snowboarders came through the gates, an average of 185 per day. Cost as of 2012-2013 was $3 for children, and $5 for adults for a day of skiing. The hill is open on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 pm when snow is available.
