Duluth OKs $235K bailout of Spirit Mountain ski hill

DULUTH – Spirit Mountain's financial woes run much deeper than the $235,000 bailout the Duluth City Council approved for the local ski hill Monday night.

Skier visits have fallen dramatically in recent years. In 2018 they were about one-third the level of four years earlier – and the number of season passes sold has dropped nearly 40% since 2009. At the same time, the mountain's expenses have exceeded its revenue even with city tourism tax support, forcing it to draw down cash balances, state auditor documents show.
