Kettlebowl is a small ski area near Byrant, Wisconsin. Kettlebowl is a non-profit ski area run by volunteers of the Langlade County Ski Club and has been in continuous operation since 1950.
The name Kettlebowl comes from the fact that it sits on the Kettle Moraine, a large Moraine, or glacial deposit, in Northern Wisconsin. The Ice age trail route passes through Kettlebowl.
The ski area has cross country ski runs and a small vertical drop (200 ft) and features five rope tows and seven ski runs, including a "baby" hill. There is a small ski-chalet with indoor bathrooms and a kitchen where volunteers make food and offer it for sale to support the operations of the ski hill.
Getting to Kettlebowl is a short ride on Hwy 52 from Antigo, WI. On weekends when the ski hill is open, a bus service is available to carry local children.
