Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Michigan, Copper Summit Ski Resort was founded in 1946 by Edward and Margaret Sterling, lifelong Michiganders and passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Edward, a WWII veteran, aimed to create a space for families to bond and revel in Michigan's snowy winters, while Margaret, an ardent skier and naturalist, wanted to preserve the area's stunning landscape and make it accessible for recreation. Over the years, Copper Summit flourished, transforming into a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Today, Copper Summit stands as a testament to the Sterlings' enduring dream, honoring tradition while embracing progress and serving as a hub for families, adventurers, and nature lovers. The legacy of Edward and Margaret lives on through Copper Summit's commitment to community, sustainability, and the joy of exploration.
