RE: “Norway sits just 23 minutes down US 2 from Pine Mountain. The two ski areas sport eerily similar profiles: both measure 500 vertical feet and run two double chairs and one triple.”
Indy’s resort directory says Norway has 500 and Pine has 364. Both resorts were only running one lift when I visited this week. Per slopes, 284 is the most I got at Norway (Odin lift). At Pine Mountain, I got 350.
I can see how one would really get 364 at Pine Mountain with another lift working. I don’t see how one could ever get 500 feet of vertical at Norway.
I appreciate the work happening at Norway, and it has a lot of potential. There is a lot of work that still needs to happen there to hopefully draw the crowds needed to make things work out.
I am not a Yooper, but my wife started life as one. I enjoyed making use of My Indy pass to visit Marquette Mountain, Pine Mountain, and Norway while here this week.

Good to see Norway Mountain added to the Indy Pass following this episode!
Doesn’t seem like Apple Podcasts has updated The Storm since Sept 22 which is the last episode showing as available.
