BobD Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lutsen is busy for the next week or so. I managed to book two nights Sat and Sun, but most ski and stay deals are sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 For what it's worth, a skier friend of mine was there last week and said it was "super icy". Indianhead has mid winter conditions. 10" of snow past week and 4" dry powdery snow last night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 High speed lift went down on Saturday. The old double on moose was struggling, and stopped for long periods on Sunday. Snow wasn't bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobD Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I generally go there at the end of March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Chilly bluebird long weekend on the north shore this weekend. Runs are way wider and grooming way better than the last time I rode an alpine board here. The thaw last week really left things quite firm but beautiful despite the cold and wind. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNSurfer Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Looks like Lutsen is open, and is getting a nice amount of snow. The website doesn't mention anything about closures. Anyone have insight as to their operations? Like many of us, I all of a sudden have some free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Indianhead (bigsnow) getting some too. $15 lift tickets M-W if ordered online. Definitely open. I was there yesterday and planning tomorrow with rwmarron. More snow forecast for Wed, then Thurs/Fri, so might be pretty good by this weekend. Rumor that Al might have a posse of out-of-town carvers visiting this weekend. Keep your mittens on, stay outside and don't touch your face. Sorry, don't know what Lutsen's like lately. I suspect they had the same rain and melting last week. Looks open on the webcam today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Had a great long weekend with the kiddos and was lucky enough to have, tolerable temps, excellent grooming and no crowds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 I'm heading up to Lutsen on Friday, after the storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Maybe 6-7" of wet snow at Lutsen from the storm. Icy groom on Eagle Mt, but much better on Moose Mt. We got sun rather than the forecast clouds. It warmed up to 45° for surfy slush slarving and deep trenches with no ice base! Gusty 35kt winds kept the gondola down and later shut down 2 more chairs. I need to remind myself to go straight over to Moose in the future, even if I have to use that 2 mi cat track access trail when the gondola is down. The snow softens earlier in the sun there and the runs are nice and wide. Without the gondola, everyone had to use the Moose return cat track that has some uphill sections you have to walk up. Then, with the Bridge chair shut down, we had to ride back to the main lodge in a sleigh towed by a cat. It was a fun day. Lottsa snow on the hill still. Not crowded either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Saturday, May 7th last day for Lutsen. I've moved on to summer stuff like boats and bikes, though season passes are on sale til May 15th. Tempting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 So, I did buy a Lutsen pass on May 15th and just now heard that Lutsen is buying Indianhead & Blackjack. They have also purchased a new high speed chair to replace the Bridge lift and plan to replace the old lifts at Indianhead/Blackjack. https://www.stormskiing.com/p/granite-peaklutsen-ownership-group?s=r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 2022-23 Lutsen has had lake effect snow from southerly winds over the past few days. They plan to have 3 runs open on Ullr mt this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
