Kiwissa Ski Hill

Welcome to Kiwissa Ski Hill 

Kiwissa isn’t just a ski hill — it’s a winter tradition. It’s where our community gathers, learns, laughs, and thrives through the coldest months of the year.

Whether you’re carving down one of our 11 runs or spending the afternoon on the sliding hill with a toboggan, Kiwissa offers something for every age and skill level. Warm up afterward in the trailer or by the fire pit with a hot chocolate in hand.

How Kiwissa Got Its Name

“In the fall of 1956, at one of their first meetings, with 12 members in attendance, they came to a deadlock as to what should be the name chosen for the ski hill. There were 6 votes for “Manitouwadge Ski Club” and 6 votes for “Kiwissa Ski Club.” The latter name honouring a local Ojibway trapping family was chosen. They didn’t record how the tie was broken, but “Kiwissa Ski Club” was accepted unanimously as the new name.” -Taken from: Manitouwadge Cave of the Great Spirit. Author: Pauline Dean
