Profile
Lutsen is quadruple the size of most Great Lakes ski resorts. With four peaks, more than 1,000 acres, a nearly 900-foot vertical drop, 90 runs, and the region's only gondola, it's a legitimate ski area. This New England look-alike also gets rave reviews from skiers for scenery thanks to its spectacular views of Lake Superior from just about anywhere on the mountain. Located on four separate peaks of the Sawtooth Mountain range - Moose Mountain, Eagle Mountain, Ullr Mountain and Mystery Mountain - Lutsen offers long New England-like trails. Some are close to two miles in length. All trails are interconnected through a system of lifts. Lutsen was the former home of Olympic downhiller Cindy Nelson who learned to ski and race here. She later became one of America's winningest World Cup and Olympic racers ever.
