Post Secondary Enrollment Option enrollment rose by more than 90 students compared with last fall. The Lake Superior College Foundation awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships, with about 75% of applicants receiving aid.

The numbers are stacked against the status quo, and the clock is ticking. In 2025, Duluth shoveled $1.2 million in tourism tax money into Spirit Mountain, propping up a ski hill meant to stand independently. That annual subsidy has turned into an open-ended drain, all while one of the
