Do you guys all have passes?

If not, what are you doing to get lift ticket deals because as good as their park was last year, that lift ticket rate is ridiculous!

If any of you have connections to the groomer, get them to build the jumps out to 25-30 feet on Main Event (Far skiers left park under the chair) as last year you had to do some massive speed checks after every landing to avoid a flat bottom.

It could have been the best run in the midwest with a nice bump line above, but just left me thinking what could have been.

night deals are the best especially on wensdays im pretty sure, but if you go at night that jump line is closed cause there is no lights on the west side of the mountain

i've done the math, and if you buy before the 15th, you have to go either 8 saturdays where you pay $64, or 30ish night skiings to make up the price for the season pass-$394

I'll be heading up there for one or two trips.


And adding to criticism on the skier's left park. did anyone else seem like the lips were massive for the small size of each jump? I always sent it too far and had to speed check a ton for each jump.

Yeah part of the highlights of me moving to Duluth from skiing Granite is the pass price.. Season pass to Spirit MTN was $119, and their jumpline: priceless :)

I still will be skiing Granite a lot during winter break though so tell me when the NS meet up is gonna be and I can see about getting some cheaper passes from some peeps for you guys (no guarantee but I'll try)

your maths are off, it's 6 full days ($64), 8 half days ($50), or 15 nights. and it looks like prices will go up after the 15th?

night skiing is cheap and so are wednesday nights...sometimes they will have two for one deals and if you can hook up with someone with a pass they can sometimes get you a guest discount.
