I am very excited to announce that Detroit Mountain in Detroit Lakes MN is reopening after being closed for 12 years. Overall have had $6 million in improvements. They have purchased 2 new ski lifts, 2 new magic carpets, and 2 new rope tows.

Some of the money is going into building a new chalet.


They are also pushing dirt for a jumpline and quarterpipe. (pictured here)


Personally, I can't wait to get out there. over Christmas I'll be visiting some extended family near Detroit Lakes and will probably get to ski one of the days while I'm up there.

Let's hear it for Detroit Mountain! (woot woot)

I have a bunch of friends from DL. I bet they'll enjoy not having to drive to Andes now

For sure. Here's a visualization of what it will look like that I found surfing the webs today. The park will have its own rope.

I'm not sure about the vertical on it, but most likely that it's smaller than Afton by a long shot. Park will be pretty nice from the looks of it though. Only thing is that this place is tucked up near Fargo.

I'll be there quite often over break. (I go to MSUM) If you see a guy in a black and green luft gear pullover or a yellow plaid jacket and sucks in the park, it's probably me.
