  • (SHTA) Comments on Proposed Lutsen Mountains Ski Expansion Project and Impacts to the Superior Hiking Trail / North Country National Scenic Trail
    Superior Hiking Trail Association (SHTA) Comments on Proposed Lutsen Mountains Ski Expansion Project and impacts to the Superior Hiking Trail / North Country National Scenic Trail Location: Lutsen Mountains Ski Resort in Cook County, Minnesota | Superior National Forest - Tofte ​ Ranger District Background: The Superior Hiking Trail Association is the nonprofit organization that builds, renews, manages, and protects the Superior Hiking Trail, a 300-mile natural-surface trail linking Wisconsin to an overlook of the Canadian border. An estimated 100,000 people use the Trail each year. The SHT provides the premier backpacking experience in Minnesota, if not the Midwest and it hosts many events, including the Superior Fall Race, one of the first 100-mile races in the nation. Hikers, runners, and snowshoers come to the SHT year-round to enjoy its remote setting. The Superior Hiking Trail Association has long been aware of plans to expand the Lutsen Mountains Ski Resort. On January 16, 2018 SHTA executive director Denny Caneff met with Charles Skinner of Lutsen Mountains to discuss the project, and it was understood that they would pay for the cost of relocating the Superior Hiking Trail in the event of a ski expansion, although no agreement was made with Lutsen Mountains regarding the final route of the SHT. In the fall of 2018, Jason Husveth of Critical Connections Ecological Services created a map for the SHTA that showed a proposed reroute following high ground north of Moose Mountain. This would remove the SHTA entirely from the Lutsen Mountains Expansion Project (see attached map). Superior Hiking Trail Association Comments: The SHTA does not oppose the expansion of Lutsen Mountains’ area of operation and we acknowledge the likely benefits to the local economy from the expansion.

  • Culture, Landscape & the Making of the Colorado Ski Industry
    CULTURE, LANDSCAPE, AND THE MAKING OF THE COLORADO SKI INDUSTRY by ANNE GILBERT COLEMAN B.A., Williams College, 1987 M.A., University of Colorado, 1992 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History 1996 This thesis for the Doctor of Philosophy degree by Anne Gilbert Coleman has been approved for the Department of History by Patricia Nelson Limerick Philip J. Deloria Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When people hear the topic of my dissertation, they often give me a knowing smile and ask if I am a skier. I say "I was a skier in my life before graduate school, when I had more time and a paycheck." This project has allowed me to explore Colorado's ski areas from the inside out, through their history, design, and marketing as well as their lifts, lodges, and trails. In the process I have met dozens of interesting people and incurred a number of debts. This project received financial support from the American Historical Association's Albert J. Beveridge Research Grant, the University of Colorado History Department's Douglas A. Bean Memorial Faculty Research Stipend and Pile Fellowship, the Roaring Fork Research Scholarship funded by Ruth Whyte, and from Dr. Giles D. Toll. I would like to thank all the people who helped me research this project, including Charlie Langdon at the Durango Herald, Mary Walker and Ingrid Schierllng Burnett at the Tread of Pioneers Museum, Sue Spearing at the Grand County Historical Society, all of the people at the University of Colorado Archives and the Colorado Historical Society, and Lisa Hancock, Jody Phillips McCabe, and my other friends at the Aspen Historical Society.
