FROM Marquette Mountain >> The mountain is buzzing, and no, that’s not just the pre-winter stoke talking. Here’s the latest on the new lift and infrastructure upgrades as we inch closer to first chair:
🛠️ The Update From the Mountain:
Doppelmayr crews are back onsite, and parts are arriving daily (it’s like Christmas, but with massive steel components).
Kelly Brothers Construction is making serious headway on the new operator buildings—essential for keeping the crew warm and the lifts spinning.
Red Electric is on the scene, routing the power and getting our night skiing & lift lights dialed in.
Our own Marquette Mountain crews are working overtime, wrapping up general maintenance and a handful of off-season projects.
Keep your eyes peeled—work is onging around the new RFID gates and the revamped learning area!
We’re grinding every day to make this winter one for the books. Big shoutout to everyone at the mountain getting their hands dirty to elevate the U.P. ski experience.

City Pivots After Hickory Hills Operator Drops Out
City Pivots After Hickory Hills Operator Drops Out
www.traverseticker.com
Plans to hire an outside operator to run Hickory Hills Ski Area this winter have hit a major bump. The City of Traverse City was unable to reach terms with North Country Alpine Services (NCAS) because of insurance and liability issues. With the operator dropping out, the city is taking back over and...ABR Trails Foundation is thrilled to welcome our new operations team Josh Sherven and Tracy Truesdell. Their combined experience in hospitality along with their passion for the ABR mission and love of the UP make them a great fit.
Josh and Tracy, originally from the Pacific Northwest, fell in love with the Upper Peninsula and moved to Ironwood from Idaho in the spring of 2020. They moved to Roanoke, Virginia in 2023 so Tracy could pursue her goal of being a working artist and Josh could pursue his passion for cycling. Both of them were interested in being part of the farm to table food scene.
Josh, a Boise State cross country athlete with a Bachelors in Mathematics, has a storied career of travel and adventure that has led to over twenty years in the hospitality and related industries. These adventures have included, groundskeeping at golf courses, packing bush planes for climbers of Denali in Alaska, owning and operating a beach bar in Baja Mexico, owning, co-operating, or managing restaurants with his wife, Tracy, and teaching high school math. After running, he became passionate about cycling and worked as a bike mechanic. His love of fitness led him to ABR where he learned and loves to ski.
Tracy, whose formal training was in fine arts, has had a thirty plus year career as a restaurant professional. She has opened, owned, managed, co-wrote the business plan for, and consulted for other restaurants. The intersection of community, food systems and service has been her focus throughout. She hopes also to integrate her passion for art making and pottery inspired by the beauty of the trails with her tenure at ABR.
Both Josh and Tracy are honored to be part of the team that carries forward the awesome legacy and exciting future of the extraordinary and beautiful trails of ABR.
