Skiers at Lutsen Mountains have an après-ski music option again this season — and soon will have two.

After the North Shore resort’s popular Papa Charlie’s venue burned down in 2023, managers opened a smaller venue called Lofty Gondola in an existing building in late December.

“One of the things we took from customer feedback from last year was that we needed a night spot on the mountain for people and families to go to, to grab dinner, grab a beer and unwind for the day,” said Zak Trimble, chief operating officer at the ski resort. “We knew Papa Charlie’s was not going to be ready for this season and we had this space that we could turn around pretty quickly and put a nice bar into.”
