Duluth is a great ski town. Tucked in between Lake Superior and a towering forested ridgeline, it has long, legendary winters and Spirit Mountain. One of the greatest "surburban" ski areas in the Midwest, Spirit offers a big 700-foot vertical drop, seven lifts including a high-speed quad, 22 runs and two terrain parks spread out over close to 200 acres. Spirit's assests include a sea of some of the finest "blue cruisers" around the Great Lakes and its great views of the city and harbor. The sprawl of twinkling city lights at night is one of the greatest night skiing views anywhere.
