Best Kept Secret in the Midwest

by min123165 , Aug 17 '00
Pros: Colorado-type Ski-Resort in the Midwest, variety of runs, affordable
Cons: Very remote location.
Lusten is the best kept secret in the Midwest. We have journeyed to Lusten for over five years now, and choose this ski resort over many in Colorado. (Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain.) We are avid skiers, and living in the Midwest, we found it...

Beautiful scenery, ideal snow, and great wild rice soup!

by Ravenwind , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Great snow, beautiful scenery, good soup, gondola
Cons: Can be very cold in the morning!
Lutsen Mountain is definitely the premier ski area in Minnesota, and arguably in the midwest as well. Situated on the picturesque north shore of Lake Superior, the top of the mountain affords a beautiful view of the blue waters of the lake. The scenery...

by suzysportster , Jan 03 '00

Lutsen is by far the best ski area in Minnesota. I have skied all over the United States and have skied some of the best areas out west like Jackson Hole, Breckenridge, Big Sky, Bridger Bowl, Copper Mt, Taos...just to name a few, but I live in...

scenic but costly

by lovestoski , Mar 19 '06
Pros: good views of Lake Superior
Cons: cost, slow lifts, unfriendly
We skied Lutsen Spring Break 2006. Some positives: decent terrain, not crowded midweek, ample accommodations (Caribou Highlands Lodges), hills are small so kids will not disappear. Drawbacks: high cost when you consider hours of 9:30-4:30, short runs ...

The only big place to go for snow in Minnesota

by evanj18 , Oct 30 '05
Pros: Great snow, huge runs, fast lifts
Cons: Food is bad and priced high, closes early
When we traveled to Lutsen Mountain in Northern Minnesota at first the Chalet was dissapointing. Food was not worth the price and seemed old or stale. So we checked out our room in the ski area hotel deal. Wasnt too bad but once again nothing top ...

Lutsen: Perhaps worth a Try...

by naifly , Feb 17 '02
Pros: Great snow, clean air, gorgeous terrain and scenery
Cons: Small and brutally fast lifts, pricey meals, inadequate facilities, overpriced lift tickets
This weekend I went on a trip to Lutsen with my three best friends and my parents. The adventure began when we went out to dinner, and one of my tightwad friends was terrified by the prices of the food. The food was actually only a little higher priced...

Breathtaking!

by hoya , May 27 '00
Pros: Long runs, wide variety of difficulty, beautiful surrounding, great snow
Cons: Minnesota winters can be unpredictable
Lutsen is far and away the best ski destination in Minnesota and possibly the Midwest. This serene landscape has everything a skier of any skill level could ask for.

On scenery alone, this mountain is second to none. Located in northern...

Lutsen _ Minnesota's Best Resort

by superfrosty , Apr 14 '00
Pros: the best in MN
Cons: small, comparatively
I visited Lustsen two years ago for a weekend. I don't know if I was lucky or what, but the place was practically deserted when I was there. Anyhow, I had a great time, because the runs I was on were empty.

I signed up for a lesson, and I got...

ski lutsen?

by krall , Dec 24 '99
Pros: great skiing, excellent accomodations
Cons: can be cold in Jan,Feb
When there is snow, Lutsen is a fantastic place to ski. I have been to Colorado skiing many times and to all of the places in Minnesota. Lutsen is the closest to Colorado. A comparable hill in Colorado would be Eldora, NNW of Denver. Moose Mtn is the...

YOU GOTTA STAY THE NIGHT
by hopalonghowie ,Feb 07 '05
Pros: powder, big for midwest
Cons: THEY CLOSE AT 4:30
i was just up to Lutsen this weekend, with the warm winter we decided it best to make the 4.5 hour journey from minneapolis to Lutsen, we got there at 2pm and didn't even notice that there aren't lights like the other minnesota ski areas. we were not warned that we would only be able to board for 2 hours before they closed, needless to say that didn't make me happy, but the two hours we got to hit the slopes were awesome, there was actually powder on the mountain, and there were runs for all levels. if you are thinking of going up to lutsen i'd suggest driving up and staying the night before hitting the slopes, they are open 9am-4:30pm. don't waste 50 bucks for a ticket for 2 hours like i did
