The Asessippi Ski Area is the largest ski resort in Manitoba. It is located on the Manitoba Escarpment and has a vertical drop of 120 metres (400 ft), the second largest in the province.[3] It is approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Inglis, Manitoba, 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the town of Roblin, and 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the town of Russell. The resort is built into the side of the Shell River Valley, and is close to Asessippi Provincial Park. [4]
The ski area was founded in 1998.[5] The ski area remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic, except for two weeks when an employee tested positive.[6]
