Keeping our History, Moving to the Future
Located on the GCC campus in Ironwood, Mt. Zion ski hill provides an immersive, hands-on laboratory for GCC’s nationally acclaimed Ski Area Management (SAM) Program. The GCC SAM program is one of only two associate degree programs in the U.S. and the only one with its’ own operating ski hill. The Mt. Zion Education and Training Center will replace the current building (which is not ADA compliant and is 53 years old) to provide on-site classroom space for our SAM program; lab area to host continuing education classes to the ski industry; and provide training/teaching space for community youth programs.
Together, we can ensure a vibrant future for the Ski Area Management program and community workforce development.
