Spirit Mountain

haha, i'm sure it's a typo, don't worry

But do they have a lot of events? Cuz I'm from the twin cities area so I can only go during the weekends.

There are maybe 3-4 comps during the year where the park is shut don, and even then its usually just the big jump line and hip, or just the pipe if its a pipe comp. Just watch the website and come on weekends when there is no comps. Problem solved....

So when is the first big kicker usually open?

They try their best to have the park open by Christmas. This year was crazy though where they didn't get the whole thing done until mid to late jan.

Quoting the part of th website you're talking about:

3/4/2007 - Terrain Park is OPEN
February was a killer month packed with rockin' events every weekend. Now that the events are done, guess what? The park and pipe are OPEN for your uninterrupted pleasure! The next event will be held March 24-25 and is the "Round Two" event, sponsored by the Duluth Board Shops. Watch here for details. Until then, ride...

this did not mean you could not ski the park in Feb.  there were, however, comps every weekend.  the comps only last for a few hours each day, though, and there was usually only a comp on one day each weekend
