Lutsen Skiing
Family-owned and operated since 1948, Lutsen Mountains is the Midwest’s only mountain ski experience. The variety, length and terrain make it ideal for seasoned skiers, family vacations, and friends getaways. Nonskiers will find plenty to do in the area, including taking the gondola to the Summit Chalet.

The Raptor Express services Eagle Mountain while Caribou Express (6-person, high-speed) services Moose Mountain.
Ride the Doppelmayr 8-person gondola; smooth, quiet, and quick!
The ancient Sawtooth Mountains rise 1088 feet above the coast of Lake Superior – topography, unlike any other Midwest locale making Lutsen skiing the best in the midwest. And that brings more of what you want in a ski trip – the highest mountains, the most snow, and the breathtaking beauty of Lake Superior and the Sawtooth Mountains.
