Lutsen

by Meredith

Every January my friends and I take a snowboard/ski trip to Lutsen, Minnesota.  I love it there and have been meaning to visit during the warm months.  Lutsen and Grand Marais (about 25 miles north of Lutsen) sit right along the Lake Superior border and have that quaint, small town feel.  The scenery and people are fantastic - this is easily one of the most beautiful areas in Minnesota.

Lutsen Mountains are considered to be the mountains of Minnesota.  They are larger than any other ski resort I've been too in the Midwest - having four large mountains: Moose Mountain, Mystery Mountain, Eagle Mountain and Ullr Mountain.
