So what better place to strut your stuff than at Lutsen Mountains: Minnesota's legendary winter resort. Showcasing Minnesota's best features - the highest mountains, the most snowfall and the breathtaking beauty of the North Shore - Lutsen has continually expanded and improved for more than 60 years to better serve the needs of skiers. Today Lutsen Mountains boasts 92 alpine     runs sweeping across four interconnected mountains, making Lutsen three to four times larger than any other Midwest ski area. Ten lifts including the only gondola in the Midwest, service the highest vertical-rise is the highest in Mid-America, doubling that of other regional resorts. There's a variety of terrain for all levels from beginner to expert, including an entire mountain dedicated to beginners, another mountain peppered with jumps and terrain park features, and challenging glade runs and double-black-diamonds for the advanced. On-mountain, ski-in/ski-out lodging and dining, and an endless array of events, music and activities add to the true mountain vacation experience.   There's something for everyone on the mountain or nearby: après ski acoustic music, nationally touring comedians, poker tournaments, culinary events, naturalist programs, classical performances, sleigh rides, dog sledding, late night live entertainment and more. Best of all, many of the events and activities are free! Add Lutsen's unique location and environment. Four hundred kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails wind through the nearby woods. Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Wilderness are in Lutsen's back yard, so the possibilities for snowshoeing, ice fishing, dog sledding and snowmobiling are endless. To top it all off, Lake Superior - the largest freshwater lake in the world - provides the most picturesque backdrop.   Hotels Near Lutsen ski area, Minnesota Caribou Highlands Lodge, Lutsen .2 miles away The Lutsen Mountain Inn, Lutsen .3 miles away Lutsen Resort, Lutsen 3.8 miles away Solbakken Resort On Superior, Lutsen 5.7 miles away AmericInn Tofte, Tofte 10.1 miles away Cascade Lodge, Lutsen 13 miles away * Distances listed are direct linear distances, actual travel distance may be different.   Trailmap Bigger Trailmap Pictures of Lutsen ski area Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Bigger Picture Stats Detailed Stats Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Lutsen ski area.   Ski Areas Near Lutsen ski area: Whitecap Mountain, Wisconsin , 62 miles away    400 foot drop, 8 lifts, 43 runs    37% Expert & Adv.    28% Intermediate    35% Beginner Big Powderhorn Mountain, Michigan , 69 miles away    600 foot drop, 10 lifts, 33 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    35% Intermediate    35% Beginner Blackjack, Michigan , 73 miles away    465 foot drop, 6 lifts, 20 runs    40% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    20% Beginner Indianhead, Michigan , 75 miles away    638 foot drop, 9 lifts, 23 runs    42% Expert & Adv.    37% Intermediate    21% Beginner Porcupine Mountain, Michigan , 83 miles away    641 foot drop, 4 lifts, 15 runs    35% Expert & Adv.    45% Intermediate    20% Beginner Loch Lomond, Ontario , 99 miles away    750 foot drop, 3 lifts, 14 runs    0% Expert & Adv.    0% Intermediate    0% Beginner   Whitewater Near Lutsen ski area: Poplar River, Cook County , 1 miles away, Class II-IV+(V) - 2.2 miles long (Lutsen ski hill to Highway 61) Temperance River, Cook County , 9 miles away, Class II-III(IV) - 8.5 miles long (FR166 to Temperance River State Park) Temperance River, Cook County , 12 miles away, Class I-II - 6.5 miles long (Highway 2 and FR164 to FR166)   Trails Near Lutsen ski area: Honeymoon Trail, Cook , 6 miles away North Shore State Trail, Cook , 14 miles away Rib Lake Trail, Cook , 19 miles away   National Parks Near Lutsen ski area: Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Bayfield - WI , 40 miles away Grand Portage National Monument, Grand Marais - MN , 68 miles away   Golf Courses Near Lutsen ski area: Superior National Lutsen-Golf, Lutsen , 1 miles away
