well, since spirit mountain is located in duluth, minnesota and i ski there i decided that a spirit mountain post would be nice since not everyone knows people that ski up there... make sence? So this would be the place to talk about all the cool shit that goes on there and when people are going up there.

SOOOO the first things i wanted to ask is...
does anyone know when they're going to start making snow, because last year they made some in front of the chalet and people made an in-run coming down from the gandy lifts and into a big kicker. so if anybody could figure that out, a few of us could maybe pick out a day to go up there so one person doesnt have to do all the shoveling themselves.
last year they had a few rails lying around too down on bindle and some people set those up too, so maybe we could keep that in mind too. message me on here, reply on the board, or im me on aim... my screenname is ibeein.
thanks

Hey what's up this is the same guy (skimyster55) but i thought that my other name was pretty stupid so i decided i'd make this one since it's just so confusing to find out my name... (hence the screenname) but yea, since nobody has responded yet i think i'll stop talking on this till someone does... bye

The first hope of winter has happened at spirit, the paintball fields have come down and for some reason, the Gandy chair was running the other day. I don't care if it's warm, I'm looking toward winter now.

If any of you are UMD folks, we are looking into starting a freestyle ski club. Don't really know what it will consist of, probably a trip somewhere sometime/ chillin' at Spirit a lot.

If the weather quits being retarded (and spirit makes some snow in front of the chalet), we have a few days off of school at the end of october and we might go up there... if theres enough snow. I'll put it in here if there is

The Guy that you would most likely want to talk to at spirit is a guy named Denny. He deals with most of the comps and does a lot of the decision making.

They will start making snow for sure no later than a week or two before thanksgiving, because they will be having snowcross that weekend. But It's great to look outside and see it snowing right now. We'll be out there soon.

4 to 6 on top of the hill, as of today nov 6th, they have started making snow up at spirit, they plan to be open on the 15th, but i've heard from some kids that they are going to try for this sunday, the 9th, the snow is being blown, so we will probably be up there this weekend, makin a jump, and hitting rails and such, tell us if you're gonna be there

As of this past weekend they had two small hits, which were both not so good. This next weekend they should be opening up a couple more runs, since they will be pushing around all the snow from snow-cross. They are also starting to make snow near the park. Not so much in it yet, but they're getting closer.

they will be open all week as of the 12th, the reliable word is their website, and they most likely will nto have a park open,, i'm just guessing, but looking at the forcast and all, i don't think that it will be cold enough for them to make any new snow

All the hits are up, they have the small table at the top, the big triple in the middle, two ~25 singles in succession after that, a small hip, and the money booter
Rails, didn't peep much, but I think they have 5 up so far, they put up the big rainbow yesterday
