Dogs Not Allowed In Chalet
DXC LOVES dogs, however, in accordance with city policy, dogs are not allowed in the Chalet and are required to be on leash in all Duluth City Parks. Please note that dogs and foot traffic are not allowed on groomed xc ski trails. We appreciate your effort in complying with this leash law.
Restoring the Chalet
Built in 1960, the Lester-Amity Chalet has a rich history of outdoor recreation. Over the years, it has served as a home to cross country skiers, ski jumpers, hockey players and sliding enthusiasts. A group of volunteers is currently restoring the chalet as a community gathering place for a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
Many restoration projects have already been completed, such as furnaces, electrical system upgrades, windows, bathrooms, and fireplace. We also have a solar panel grid immediately outside the Chalet, which generates enough electricity to cover 75% of the electrical energy/costs for lighting the ski trails at Lester-Amity!
