The steepest runs south of Lutsen, and the trails are unique. Ski Bob is super unique. Wish they would stop putting closed signs on EVERYTHING that's actually fun for expert skiers (trees, larger side hits, drops). They have removed ten runs since 2000, unfortunate.

  • Wide variety of pitch.
  • Almost no tree skiing allowed

This Is a great ski resort and very close. The only thing I this they had was more runs and keeping some of them less icy. There is never lines (at least when I come) and they have great customer service. Awesome overall!

  • Close and cheap
  • Icy and more runs

They consistently do a phenomenal job of taking what mother nature gives (or in this case holds back massively in terms of snowfall) and makes a great snow base. I wish more runs were open but I get it. This winter has been rough everywhere. The staff here are awesome. I love these slopes.

  • Close by, outstanding staff
  • Season passes are pricy

Great hill, have been skiing here for 3 seasons no and have never been disappointed. We get out at least twice a week.

  • Great hill close to home
  • None

I think that the management needs to start listening to the riders and come out of the dark age of what they think is important.

  • It is by far the best hill in the metro area. It has plenty of great runs for everyone and has lifts right where the should be at top and bottom
  • Biggest complaint : they will groom a snowfall in before you get there...You will be dreaming about soft new snow the whole way there to show up to a boring groomed run with all the fun stuff tamed down to boringville.... Also they do not like jumps or ju

Absolutely crazy how expensive this place is! $200 dollars for an adult and 2 small children for the beginner hill. Wild mountain charges $16. Way to promote skiing Welch.

  • None
  • Not family friendly

There are 5 chair lifts open and a rope tow for the terrain park. All together 19 runs open for good early season packed groomed snow fun. I'm not sure what's up with the report on this site, but I've never seen this resort have only 1 lift open anytime.

  • good packed groomed skiing
  • all man made snow

Only a couple runs open, but they were in great shape.

  • No lift lines this early season
  • Not much open

It’s one of the two places I can go for a ride after work that’s not two hours away. But It cost too much, always icy, never groomed, the decor is dated. It’s nice when you go with others and bring your own food and drink, but you can do that anywhere else for cheaper
