Despite Storm, Red Tape, Trophy Lodge Plans 2013 Opening

Minnesota Arts, Culture and History | WTIP
Built on the steep, red-clay hills that rise up from the St. Louis River in Wisconsin, Mont du Lac opened in 1948, making it one of the oldest ski areas in the region. A new era began in 2008 for Mont du Lac when it was purchased by Larry and Donna Pulkrebec, owners of Field Logic, an archery and sporting goods manufacturer located in Superior, Wisc. They embarked on an ambitious plan to revamp the area’s recreational opportunities and to build a new, hilltop lodge. In this edition of Points North, Shawn tells the story of how Mont du Lac has rebuilt after a massive June flood which destroyed parts of the ski park.
