There is one chairlift that provides access to 10 runs (2 primary and 8 side-country), one of which consists of a terrain park featuring banked turns, jumps and rollers.

[4] Lutsen Mountains has a reputation for being family-friendly, as it was named as a Top 20 Family Ski Resort two years in a row among other accolades.

[5] Lutsen Mountains hosts two resorts, Caribou Highlands and Eagle Ridge, which offer a wide variety of rooms, condos, and townhomes.

[6] In summer 2014, Lutsen Mountains installed a new $5 million pipeline to carry water for snowmaking from Lake Superior to the resort's pumping facility.

[7] Prior to the new pipeline, Lutsen Mountains faced criticism for using a waiver to pump water from the Poplar River, a designated trout stream, as this practice had been illegal since 1977 in Minnesota.

[8] In January 2022, Charles Skinner became the sole owner of Lutsen Mountains, purchasing co-president and brother-in-law Tom Rider's 50% ownership interest.

[14] The plan included two new base facilities, seven chairlifts, two new snowmaking reservoirs, and more; much of this development would occur on the south face of Moose Mountain.

The announcement garnered immediate attention, given a request to expand a ski resort on public land is unusual in the Midwest.

[15] The proposal drew 560 public comments by December 2021, with local tourism boosters and businesses in favor, while environmental advocates and tribal groups with treaty rights to the land opposed the plan.

[16] When the Cook County Chamber of Commerce came out in support of expansion, the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa sent a letter to the board criticizing dismissal of the historic use of the land by the Ojibwe people.
