Spirit Mountain Grand Chalet
The ski area was founded by The City of Duluth and was built in 1974. With a vertical elevation of approximately 700 feet, it is the second tallest ski hill in Minnesota. In addition to skiing Spirit Mountain has opened up the lifts for downhill mountain biking in the off-season. With professionally designed flow trails, Duluth now has the only true downhill lift access biking in the Midwest. They added the only Midwest alpine coaster too, and a Zipline. In addition to the adventure opportunities it now offers, Spirit Mountain has a rich history of indigenous people and early pioneers. Constructed in 2013, the Grand Chalet at the base of Spirit Mountain includes a year-round restaurant known as the Riverside Bar & Grill, the location for this 1% for the Arts.
