Back in 1953, the legendary Tommy Bartlett Water Ski Show brought professional skiers to the Portage Waterway, drawing crowds along the shoreline to watch incredible tricks and jumps.
More than 70 years later, we're proud to keep waterskiing alive at and around Michigan Tech.
Here's to honoring the past and creating the next generation of Keweenaw ski memories. ๐ค๐
