Big Powderhorn’s main building total loss in Thursday fire
BESSEMER -- Fire destroyed most of the main lodge at Big Powderhorn Mountain Ski Resort on Thursday morning.

No one was injured in the fire, which started in the east side of the main lodge, according to Gogebic County Sheriff Pete Matonich.

Matonich said he was the first law enforcement officer at the scene and the building was fully engulfed when he arrived. The wood-framed structure on the east side burned quickly, he said.

Owner Bruce Noren said Thursday afternoon that the hill would be 100 percent open today, with all runs open and chairlifts in full operation. "
