DULUTH, Minn. – Duluth Mayor Emily Larson announced during a Thursday press conference her recommendations for the next steps in supporting Spirit Mountain Recreational Area.
The mayor’s proposed plan includes launching a $24 million capital reinvestment program funded 50% by state bonding, 25% by the City from tourism taxes, and 25% by Spirit Mountain.
“Now is the time to do this with Spirit Mountain,” Mayor Larson said. “No more Band-Aids. It’s ready for a good fix. There is a saying, “If you can’t get out of it, get into it.” So, let’s get into it.”
The capital projects would improve the economic impact, community benefit, and financial performance of Spirit Mountain.

DULUTH – While not quite the $23 million in upgrades a consultant recommended last month, Spirit Mountain is planning some major work that its interim director said will better make the public ski hill a community resource. It is a community resource, and we know we need to be accountable for the investments we make, interim Executive Director Ann Glumac told the Duluth City Council on Monday night. We cut our expenses and some of our hiring plans and that has resulted in an operating profit for this fiscal year (that) we will be able to invest in our capital needs.
