Yes the chairlifts are very old actually over 50 years but they are made by a very good reputable company called hall which are still all over the country and one of the top manufacturers back in the 60s. The old white cap lodge still serves food and beverages starting at 11 AM and my buddy and I both had a prime rib taco salad which was absolutely fantastic for $13. The new ticket booth in rental area is nice after the old one burned down a few years ago and it was quite easy just to get your ticket to which I bought and I encourage you to buy online early for a discount. The ski area has one of the most bizarre chairlifts in North America according to ski bum and that used to go but it still does go from the north pole to the South Pole and continuous line with drop offs on ravens roost and also Eagles nest was a big valley in between as of the last couple years they will not let you ride all the way through so there’s much cross country skiing involved in getting to Eagles nest where the steep stuff is in the south pole end of the chair. One of the major improvements is they put up all new brand new trail signs unfortunately did not put arrows on the signs to let you know exactly where to go. OK I would like to give this ski area of five star rating but there are still several areas where there needs to be much improvement in order to give that that rating.Seems they have not changed their snow report online three days and also with the mild weather the day or two previously and refreezing they certainly should’ve had a groomer out to make the trails a little smoother because it was quite rough.īesides Lutsen this is one of the few Midwest areas where you need to use a trail map to find your way around. Thanks for everything and looking forward to coming back hat from my uncle Louie and we will have another great say of skiing. But i am bringing my son back in february, i will be wearing my classic blue WHITECAP MTN. I am not into negatives and i feel those topics have been brought up enough and would rather focus on positives. I am a skier pure and simple and totally enjoyed the experienceThe snow was perfect ,the wine hut was a blast every one was super nice and friendly and we had a great day. I have not been here for 30 years so i was happy to see not much has changed since. My mom is from Hurley born and raised and my Uncle Louie Ferrari -"T bar Louie " Tootsie pop Louie"-lived across the street and worked many years for Whitecap ,before they had 2 mountains ! My mom and her sister and brother skied whitecap alot back in the day. He recently bought a house in the UP so we headed over to Whitecap for a day. On a recent ski outing trip with a friend of mine i found he had not ever skied at Whitecap.
