Welcome Backcountry Skiers
Hut to Hut System Information
Picture a classic Northwoods log cabin, handbuilt, at the top of a snow-covered hill. Add a view of Lake Superior, a cozy woodstove and bunks, and a pair of sick powder skis. Best vacation ever!
Our destination here at SHB is a hut-to-hut trail system. As we identify, obtain access to, and designate each Glade, we intend to erect a hut at the summit. These will be connected by trails, designed for ease of travel from Glade to Glade. Beginning in Finland and ending in Lutsen, this vision is the pinnacle of our inspiration.
Our grand vision for skiers and winter travel enthusiasts of the North Shore is to create a Hut-to-Hut trail system. Our current plan outlines skiable areas along a travel route from Finland to Lutsen. Finland Glades is up and running, and Moose Glades is in the permitting stage. Plans for permitted huts are next up on deck.
Join us to build a Hut-to-Hut system along the Lake Superior Highlands!

By its nature, quality backcountry skiing requires beautiful, aesthetic locations. Here at Superior Highland Backcountry we are skiers and environmental conservationists. We see the creation of backcountry ski areas in our region as an excellent way to weave stewardship, human health and enjoyment, and economic vitality together into a single effort. We are skiers, who will pursue the powder each year as long as our legs will carry us. And we are stewards of our land, for as long as our voices can speak for it.
