It's On!! Opening Day will be this Sunday! Spirit Mountain will open on November 26th from 10 am- 5 pm with limited terrain.

The snow-making crew has been working around the clock since Tuesday and has remained dedicated to getting you on snow this weekend. As of this afternoon, we have made enough snow to ride from the top of Powder Monkey to the Summit Chair on Bindle Stiff. We will keep you informed if any additional information is made available, including any updates on terrain park features and lifts running.

Please plan to park and ride from the Skyline chalet, where skier services, including the cafe, tickets, rental, and season lockers, will be available. If you're a season pass holder who still needs to pick up your pass, you can do so tomorrow, Saturday, November 25th, from 11 am to 4 pm at the Skyline chalet. Picking up your pass before opening secures your ability to go directly to the lift and not stand in line opening morning. If this does not work for you, we will have tickets staffed starting at 9 am on Sunday at the Skyline Chalet ticket counter for both pass and day ticket printing. Early season tickets will be available online beginning Saturday afternoon or at the ticket counter on opening day.

Remember, you will not be allowed to get on the lift if you do not have your physical pass with you. Make sure you always have your season pass with you every time you come to ride. No exceptions.

Expect early-season coverage with no beginner terrain, thin snow in some spots, and snow-making as conditions allow. Get ready for an exciting start to the season at Spirit Mountain! #SeeYouAtSpirit

We know you're eager to hit the slopes, and we are, too! We're happy to report that the temperatures have finally started to turn in our favor, and snowmaking has begun. We were able to turn the snow guns on Tuesday evening and run them through Wednesday morning. Though we did have to pause due to rising temps, we plan to fire up the snow guns again this evening.

Here's what we know: the temps are expected to drop in the next couple of days, and our crew will be working diligently to get you on snow as soon as we can. While we can't provide an exact timeline for this yet, we are still considering all options, including something this weekend.

We'll keep you posted on our progress towards opening day. Look for an update by Friday afternoon. We can't wait to see you out there soon! #SeeYouAtSpirit

We are ready! Our snow guns are lined up❄️. Our amazing snowmakers are itching to start blowing snow and laying down some of the very best terrain in the Upper Midwest.

However, there's a little weather hiccup – temperatures are still in the 50s today...

For those of you with a direct line to Mother Nature, it's time to work your magic. Bust out your best snow dance, send your winter wishes out into the universe, and dust off that lucky charm of yours. Let's collectively bring on the classic winter weather we're waiting for. Rest assured, you'll be the first to receive the good news if your efforts help bring about the winter wonderland we're all hoping for! ❄️🌨️
