IRONWOOD - Gogebic Community College's Mt. Zion ski season will close Sunday.

Pam Zupan said the slopes at Mt. Zion are perfect for her 12-year-old granddaughter, Alyssa.

"This is her second year she has been snowboarding," she said.

The hill isn't over crowded and many of her granddaughter's friends ski or snowboard there, she said, adding her granddaughter has a season pass.

Zupan was surprised this is the last weekend Mt. Zion is open.

"There is still a lot of base left on there," she said.
