I love Lutsen. Seeing the beauty of Lake Superior is a treat. The mountain runs are just long enough, and the lifts and gondola are speedy. The lodges are nice with typical food. Nicely groomed trails.

Great area to see in the fall! The gift shop is nice and we have always liked riding the gondola. The ALpine slide is also fun!

A group of us went to Lutsen Mountains last weekend. Had a great day skiing, got back to the car and realized we had lost our car keys (didn't have a spare) and wallet on the mountain. Every single staff member that we encountered while trying to locate our lost belongings was more than accommodating. We couldn't believe how out of their way everyone went in order to help us, especially after hours on a Saturday night! In the end we were able to locate BOTH lost items, all thanks to the staff at Lutsen Mountains. Huge thanks to ski patrol, mountain maintenance team, and shuttle service for helping us out. Aside from excellent skiing, we were blown away by the friendly and super helpful staff. Will of course be back again, and would refer any friends to Lutsen Mountains.

What a great ride down the hills. After a short chair lift ride up the slopes you get on a cart and wind down the tubes. There are a few drops where your butt lifts off the cart and you feel like you are free falling. At $8 a ride it was a fun. I could have gone 2 or 3 times, just to see how fast I could have handled the track, but not sure the 5 ride discount would have kept my interest. A great stop along the north shore and a fun way to mix things up a bit. A word of advice from my friend, when getting in line at the top, If you want to go fast, pick someone in front of you who matches your ability. She ended up behind a small child who was nervous and taking the ride pretty slow, and caught up to them about half way down. We celebrated our ride with a cold beer at Papa Charlies and enjoyed their patio.

This is pretty pricey for a family, but our kids loved it. We split 8 rides between the four of us for about $44. The gondola is separate, but once across the valley you can hike around or stop into the mountaintop lodge for a snack. We won't do it again, but it was an enjoyable afternoon activity.

I should first clarity that my 4 star rating is made in comparison to other resorts in the Midwestern United States. Lutsen has an approximately 800 foot vertical drop, which, in my experience, is about double that of most other resorts in the Midwest. As best as I can tell, only Mount Bohemia in Michigan comes close to Lutsen in this regard. The terrain has reasonable variety with a few black runs and lots of blue and green runs. There is some limited tree skiing. Accommodations are comfortable and reasonably priced. The view of Lake Superior from the top of the mountain is awesome. Lutsen's employees are personable and helpful. There are, however, a few things that Lutsen could do better. The first is has to do with the grooming of the runs--there is too much of it! In my experience, with the exception of a few shots through the trees, the runs are extensively groomed, to within a few inches of the tree stands lining the runs. If you only like to ski groomed runs, this is, of course, great, but if you want to ski some powder snow or a few bumps, often your only option is the runs that go through the trees. It seems to me that Lutsen would be improved if a few small stretches were left un-groomed at least some of the time.My other minor problem is that Lutsen often only opens a limited number of runs and lifts on its mountains. My wife and I skied Lutsen on a Thursday, Friday and a Saturday a few weeks ago. Our favorite place to ski is a tree run called Timberwolf. Timberwolf can be easily accessed by the Timberwolf chair, which was closed the entire time we were there. The run can also be accessed by the very nice high speed Caribou Express, which seems to be always open. I can understand that management might not want to open the Timberwolf run on a weekday when there are relatively fewer skiers on the mountain, but I was disappointed when they did not even open it for the weekend., particularly when the run could have been readily accessed by the Caribou Express chair. Because of these two problems, I only gave Lutsen a four star rating, instead of a five star rating.I have seen a few reviews that are critical of the fact that some of the runs and trails require a limited amount of walking. The only trail that we skied like that was "Moose Return," which connects Moose Mountain with another part of the resort. It is true that it is necessary to herringbone a few very short stretches on this trail, but this part of the trail only takes two or three minutes. We did not mind it at all--in fact it represents a good opportunity to get warm on cold Midwest winter days. I would not be dissuaded from checking out Lutsen because of this feature of the resort--it just is not that big of a deal in my opinion. I would emphasize that Lutsen's many good qualities far outweigh its limitations. Although management could do better, it is still a great Midwest ski resort and I look forward to returning next year.

We heard about the Lutsen Mountain tram ride from a brochure at our hotel, so we decided to give it a try. The trams are fairly compact, between 2-4 people in each for the ride up. Because we had gotten there early (about 10:15) we were lucky to have only the two of us in one. The ride lasts about 10 minutes to get to the top, affording some beautiful views throughout. Once up top, there are get views over the lake - apparently we were there on a day with very good visibility. We also did a little trail hiking at the top, though it was a moderately difficult trail so we didn't go very far. Very much recommend doing this if you are in the area - and definitely recommend going in the morning!
