Good morning from Lutsen Mountains! 

We are forecasted for a beautiful, partly sunny day with minimal wind. Activities will operate as expected for the entire day. Take advantage by getting out for some fun on the Alpine Slide and taking in the breathtaking views on the gondola and at the Summit!

*Slight chance of delays for the Alpine Slide while we dry the track after overnight rains and expect limited views on the gondola until the fog clears out*

NOAA Weather Report: Partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 82. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 15 mph.

Gondola Scenic Rides (10:00 AM- 5:00 PM): With no thunderstorms forecasted for the day, the gondola will be back online operating. Views in the morning will be limited until the fog clears, but should be nice for the afternoon. Come out and take a ride on the only Gondola in the Midwest! Enjoy some food and drinks at the Summit Chalet while taking in those beautiful views of Lake Superior!
