Unfortunately five hours of driving doesn't get me as excited as I would normally be later in the season.

Exactly what I would say about Giants Ridge (their pipe returns too! With rails included!). Best in the Midwest? If only granite wasn't a major rival to everyone.

My deal with granite though is that they are so damn expensive. So it isn't a place many of us can go. Spirit has a killer park, awesome community, and is pretty cheap.

Spot on. "Best" is subjective, it's all about what you like best. There's something about Giants Ridge that just draws me to it so much. Not sure what it is. I really love spirit too. Both are my favorite in Minnesota.

Agreed. I really need to get out to Giants. I would say that Spirit is the best overall park in Minnesota all things considered (Price, Atmosphere, Jumps, Rails, Location).

That rail is one of the reasons I make a trip to spirit in February each year. Can't wait.
