Only one more (NASJA at Lutsen) coming this season though.
Lutsen, as in Lutsen, MN? Really?
Wrong side of the big lake for much lake-effect, but they've generally got good snow preservation, a respectable vertical drop relative to the midwest (they claim 1000, I think, but IMO the true continuous vertical can't be more than about 800) and some relatively decent trees if the conditions are right. Hope its not anytime too soon. Starting last weekend, just about the entire Lake Superior basin went from about a month of not-so-unusual really cold temps to about five days of pretty-unusual big-time thaw, with some rain. Now everything is frozen again.
One extremely cool thing about Lutsen is the surrounding North Shore environment and topography. If you're flying into Duluth, IMO its worth it to take your time driving up the shore and check out some of the beaches, bluffs, palisades, (frozen) waterfalls, etc. The North Shore of Superior is not entirely unlike parts of the Maine Coast. Pine-covered rocky hills, crashing waves, red-roofed coastguard buildings, seagulls (well maybe not so many in winter), etc. Skiing Lutsen can also be fun because, in terms of the resort infrastructure, its a bit like stepping back in time to the 60s or 70s.
For a truly unique ski experience, you could try some local creek skiing:
