Lutsen Lodging — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:17:54 +0000

The inaugural 2011 Lutsen 99er bike race proved to be a great success. As a result, we are moving forward with our 2012 event, an event that is fast becoming known as Minnesota’s premier endurance mountain biking event. In keeping with our inaugural tradition, we will continue to host the Lutsen 39er, a shorter less demanding race that attracts a wide audience.

The race date is set for June 23rd. You now register on-line for either the 99 or 39 mile bike event at www.lutsen99er.com.

You should book your lodging now as we are anticipating 500 riders this year. Simply stay on this website and select “view properties” Make it a family event or bring a group of friends. We have lodging accommodations to fit every need.

And Yet More Snow!

Lutsen Lodging — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:08:56 +0000

Once again, we’ve had a series of recent and smaller snowfalls that continue to blanket our area. Last Friday, there was a classic lake effect 2″ snowfall over a period of about 1 1/2 hours. Then on Monday, I woke up to about 3″ up on the Caribou. Again, we have not had a classic winter storm yet this season, but the snow continues to accumulate. Matter-of-fact, I was out last night and shoveled snow off the roof of my cabin…..it was that deep. Unfortunately, the annual John Beargrease Sled Dog race was recently cancelled as the result of poor snow conditions. But those poor snow and trail conditions were south of Cook County. Because we have snow, the area put together a sled dog race on the Gunflint Trail in replacement of the John Beargrease event. Combined with mild temps, it’s been a great winter to be in the woods, on XC slopes and on the slopes of Lutsen Mountains (and yes, on the bike too!).

And More……..

Yup, more snow. Again, not a classic "noreaster" or suprise Lake Effect - just another couple 3-4" scattered about the Lutsen area. And with temps in the 20's and 30's this coming week and weekend......Perfect.

Yes, we have snow!

I recently drove from Lutsen to Minneapolis to take my daughter back to college. Not too far out of Lutsen, I found no snow along the roadside. It was brown! Duluth had no snow, and of course the Twin Cities had no snow anywhere. Even the snow banks were virtually non-existent. While Lutsen has not received its normal share of snow this winter, at least we have snow. It feels like every other day or so we get an inch, maybe two. Before you know it, all these little Alberta Clippers add up and the result is we have a fair amount snow in the woods and on the slopes. The downhill skiing and snowboarding at Lutsen has been fantastic. And I serve as an excellent source. I am the assistant Alpine Ski Coach and I’ve been on the hill 4-5 days a week with the kids since late November. The Cross Country skiing further inland has some good conditions. While we are still looking for our classic 6-16″ lake effect snowfall (which can occur without warning), the winter conditions thus far remain good for all your winter adventures. We have some great lodging deals. Take a look and book now! Mike

Fall colors in Lutsen

Lutsen Lodging — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 22:04:10 +0000

Today is a cold dreary day on the North Shore and that makes the colors in the trees and under brush all that more beautiful. It brings out all of the colors so much more vividly. With the temps in the 70′s for the next few days I hope I can get out to hike up the Oberg Mountain Loop. If any of you haven’t been up there you need to. The trail goes up Oberg Mountain to a high peak that overlooks Lake Superior and surrounding area. The colors this time of year from that vantage point is totally awesome. It’s a hike very worth your time and effort to get up there. The trail is easy but uphill until you get to the top then continues around the top of the mountain and back down with breathtaking views. I’ll post some photo’s next week.

Enjoy your visit to the North Shore and stop in to see us at the Moondance Coffee House in Lutsen.

Bears on Superior National Golf Course

Lutsen Lodging — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 21:42:36 +0000

Mike found these bears on the golf course while playing golf labor day evening around 6 pm. They ran across one fairway and Mike guessed where they may reappear. He guessed right. Triplets apparently are unusual and they all appeared healthy
