"Sadly, we lost our beloved Papa Charlie's," read a post on the North Shore ski resort's Facebook page. "We thank the six local volunteer fire departments that responded keeping the fire contained to the Papa Charlie's building and keeping everyone safe."
The post said the resort's servers and network equipment had been housed in the building "so resort communication will be limited until we can get that restored. We will update how this impact operations as we get more information."
The Lutsen website billed Papa Charlie's as "the place to be at Lutsen Mountains." The resort's general manager did not immediately return voice and email messages Saturday seeking more information on what caused the fire.
The proposal suggests removing the 20-year protection on the Superior National Forest that President Joe Biden’s administration had ordered in 2023.
