Nor'Wester Mountains
The Nor'Wester Mountains are a group of mountains immediately south of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, located on the southern limits of the City of Thunder Bay and south of the Kaministiquia River. Mount McKay is the highest, most northern and best known of these mountains. Other prominent peaks include Godfrey, Hurlburt, Johnson, Matchett, McRae, McQuaig, Rose, and Squaretop.
Skiing
The range has held three ski areas: Mount McKay Ski Area (1932 to 1988 or 1989), Loch Lomond Ski Area (since 1956) and the Little Norway / Big Thunder jumps on Mount McRae (1963 to 1996).[1][2][3] See also History of skiing in Thunder Bay.
