Save Moose Mountain!
Your Comments Are Needed
The most prominent, largest backcountry ski glade in Minnesota is under threat of development. We must save this jewel!!
The Superior National Forest released their Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Lutsen Mountain Ski Resort Expansion, and it does not include an alternative that would preserve our terrain. Submit your comments NOW to the Forest Supervisor to let them know that Moose Mountain is too precious to be developed.
Submit your comment! The Forest Service is required to read and address every comment they receive.
This is the most important action for us to take right now.

We are the Powderhounds of Minnesota
From advocacy to access, we work to preserve and expand backcountry skiing opportunities along the highlands of the North Shore of Lake Superior. Our vision is for our community of Midwestern backcountry skiers to discover, cherish and expand the skiing opportunities in our own backyard.
The Glades
Sprinkled along the hills of Lake Superior are delightful glades. Ranging from 350’-750’ vertical feet, our wooded, backcountry ski “zones” offer terrain for everyone, from gentle slopes to huckable cliffs. We are working to obtain permission to designate, access and maintain these glades as Backcountry Ski Areas.
Save Moose Mountain!
Moose Mountain is the crown jewel of skiable terrain in Minnesota. Lutsen Mountain Ski Resort has applied for permission to build a massive expansion onto the 200+ acres of the mountain owned by the Superior National Forest. But we have another idea…
Hut-to-Hut
With our wealth of skiable glades, stunning Lake Superior views, and existing hiking trail systems, the Superior Highlands are a prime location for a Hut-to-Hut. Not to mention the hardy northern folk and log-building enthusiasm in our communities!
