Mountain Report

Daily Mountain Report Update

Snow Guarantee

Lutsen Mountains guarantees to be 80% open on 4 mountains through April 12 and 95% open on 2 mountains (Eagle and Ullr) through May 3rd.

The Snow Guarantee is assessed at the time of regular opening on the guest’s scheduled ski date. It is determined by the percentage of total available trail acreage open, excluding glades and side terrain.

Refunds are not issued automatically and must be requested by the guest on their scheduled ticket date. If the Snow Guarantee is not met, the daily Mountain Report will indicate that it was not satisfied for that date and will include instructions on how to request a refund.

🏔️ Lutsen Mountains Report

The Mountain is currently on an area wide lightning hold due to the current storm system

FINAL DAY OF DAILY OPERATIONS AND MOOSE MOUNTAIN! After today, we will be operating for weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) on Eagle and Ullr Mountains only. We will operate for 3 additional weekends with our final day scheduled for May 3rd.

Mountain Meltdown: It is Mountain Meltdown weekend! There will be live music at Lofty Gondola and Charlie's. Be sure to check the "Music & Apres" page (under "things to do") on the website for a full list performances. Come help us celebrate the great Winter season we had here on the North Shore and close out our daily operations! 

FINAL DAY OF MOOSE MOUNTAIN: We had an incredible season of skiing on Moose Mountain. With sustained cold temps throughout December and January, snowmaking was extremely successful leading to some of the best spring conditions in recent history. A huge thank you to our trails team for their monumental efforts, grooming and snowmaking! From the reopening of Adrenaline and Timberwolf chair, to fantastic coverage on many of the favorite trails, this 25-26 Winter Season was one for the books!

Mystery Mountain is done for the season! The snow on Mystery held up nicely and the skiing skiing great! We hope everyone enjoyed having Mystery back in the lineup! The improved snowmaking and natural snow we received, made for great skiing since its opening in February. Until next year!

TImberwolf Lift closed for the season. Timberwolf ran for its last time of the season this past weekend. We hope you all enjoyed the return of this classic lift over the past couple of months. What used to only operate during peak days, got plenty of use, operating every weekend since mid-February! The time has come for it to rest until the 26-27 Winter Season.

Adrenaline opened on 3/6 for the first time in a few years! This expert terrain, on the north side of Moose Mountain, was an exciting addition to have back on the roster. Come out and test your skills one last time on one of the steepest trails in the Midwest! Adrenaline's snow can be quite firm and the trail is very steep. Ride with care when entering this trail, it is expert terrain! 

From all of us here at Lutsen Mountains, we want to thank everyone for coming out and riding here on the North Shore! We always appreciate the continued support! Be sure to get your pass for next season to keep the good times rolling next year!
