The Asessippi Ski Area is the largest ski resort in Manitoba. It is located on the Manitoba Escarpment and has a vertical drop of 400feet, the second largest in the province.[3] It is approximately 8km (05miles) from Inglis, Manitoba, 30km (20miles) south of the town of Roblin, and 20km (10miles) 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]
