Up on Skyline Drive above the Chester Park neighborhood in Duluth Minnesota is a real gem of a small neighborhood ski hill. Run by a small staff and volunteers it's a very nice community gathering place in the wintertime. It shocked me to see just how little they charge for lift tickets.
Imagine living in a neighborhood with your own ski hill nearby? That is winter Duluth style. A quality of life for winter sports lovers. And what do you do with all the old used rental skis? You don't want to toss them in a landfill. They aren't really worth anything or sought after. The answer is you make a art project out of them on the shed. It really turned out colorful and nice.
On May 7th volunteers attached them to the shed. More can be found on the ski hill website link below. Chester bowl is also home to some old ski jumps. Ski jumping was huge in Duluth back in the early days and Chester Bowl was the site of a National Competition once. I really can't imagine going off a ski jump of that size or any size for that matter.
