What's New at Lutsen
Improvements at Lutsen Mountains for the 2009-10 Season
Road improvements, Pedestrian Bridge, Infrastructure for Future Village
Significant improvements to Ski Hill Road between the Bridge Run and Brule Run bridges, adjacent to Lutsen Mountains’ base area, have recently been made. Guests will enjoy a brand new road complete with smooth pavement, sidewalks, street lights, and a pedestrian bridge over Brule Run. Not only will these improvements make getting around a little easier, but it is the first step towards Lutsen Mountain’s long range plan for a mountainside village – a courtyard corridor with shops, restaurants, galleries, etc.
Triple Chair Lift
Under construction last season, Lutsen Mountain’s new triple chair lift will debut this December. The 10th Mountain Chair, named in recognition of founder George Nelson’s service to WWII’s 10th Mountain Division, will service the expert runs of Eagle Mountain, taking skiers from the Ski School Building to the top of Eagle Mountain near the towers. This lift will increase the capacity to Eagle Mountain by 30%.
