**Nordic Update:** The crew has been diligently working to get the Nordic trails open and in great shape for skiing.

We have some exciting news: all trails with snowmaking capabilities in the Nordic Center at Grand have been completed and are now open. Night skiing has been fantastic under the new lights!

The upper Nordic trails have been rolled and are skiable. It’s best to use rock skis on these trails, as some areas may be thin. The Upper Nordic building will be opening soon for day ticket sales and Nordic rentals. When the building is closed Nordic day tickets can be purchased online.

We look forward to seeing you on the trails! #SeeYouAtSpirit

🎉 Opening Weekend plans are set! 🎉

We’re thrilled to kick off our 50th Anniversary Winter at Spirit Mountain this Saturday, November 30th, from 10 AM – 5 PM! ⛷️🏂

Here’s what you need to know:

❄️We’ll be running one top-to-bottom run down Bindle Stiff and the Express Chairlift.

❄️ No beginner terrain will be available this weekend.

❄️ All ticketing, season pass pick-up, and rental services will be located at the Skyline Chalet. If you have not picked up your pass yet, you will have to go to the Skyline chalet. No one will be allowed on the lift without a valid 24/25 winter season pass or day ticket, no exceptions will be made.

❄️ A park set is in the plans; stay tuned for more details.

❄️The Skyline Chalet Café (the chalet at the top of the hill) and the Riverside Bar and Grill (at the Grand Ave Chalet) will be open to get a bite to eat.

🎟️ Additional pass pickup will be available this Friday, 11/29, from 1 PM – 5 PM at the Skyline Chalet—skip the Saturday rush!

❄️ While our alpine trails are ready to shred, Nordic skiing won’t be available this weekend. Spirit has unique temperature differences from the top to the bottom of the hill, which can present snowmaking challenges. While the snowmaking in Nordic is progressing well, we need to keep making snow before we can open any Nordic.

❄️Early season hours will continue through December 12th – Friday-Sunday, 10a-5p. Regular season hours will start December 13th

❄️Tubing opening is still TBD and we will let you know soon.
