Latest Update

A quick reminder that we will be making snow on the beginner hill and that the beginner hill will be closed today, Sunday, March 16th in order to prepare for Snocross on April 4-6. Also, spring hours begin this coming Monday, March 17th. (Bonus hour opening at 9am each day!!)

We know the question on everyone's minds; "When is closing day?" At this time, closing day is TBD. We will be watching the weather and the conditions on the hill and let you know when we know. All hours are weather-dependent and subject to change.

Also, just a reminder that SMASH has been postponed until Saturday, March 22, and will be combined with Park Fest!

Past Updates

Operations update: Closed today, Saturday, March 15th.

We were watching two factors overnight last: the temperatures, which remained high, and the rain. Spirit received roughly half an inch of rain on an already wet surface without any ability to firm up. It's a rough decision today but in order to preserve the snow and continue the season, closing the hill is the best option.

Today, forecasts say the temperature will drop and the snow surface should firm up. Those dropping temps should allow us to have the snow in good shape for tomorrow. This is a reminder that the Beginner area (Bunny Hill) will be closed tomorrow as we make snow in preparation for @snocross.

Monday starts our Spring hours and it should be a great week of riding!!

For those of you who have prepurchased tickets, rentals, or lessons for today we will be reaching out with options for rescheduling or refunds. As always, if you have additional questions, please reach out. #SeeYouAtSpirit

Weekend Operations Update ❄️

Hey everyone! We’re closely watching the forecast, which calls for rain tonight followed by colder temps on Sunday. Warm overnight temps could impact conditions, so we’ll make a decision about Saturday’s 3/15 operations by 8 AM. Stay tuned to our social feeds and Mountain Message for updates.

Bunny Hill & Beginner Terrain Closure:

On Sunday, 3/16, Bunny Hill and beginner terrain at Skyline Chalet will be closed. We know this may affect lessons and groups, and we’ll contact scheduled lessons directly. If your group is impacted, please contact us at in**@sp******.com.

The good news? Those colder temps will help us make fresh snow for SnoCross in April! 🏁❄️

Thanks for your understanding — and as always, thank you for riding with us at Spirit Mountain!

Operations Update: Spring hours begin this coming Monday, March 17th. (Bonus hour opening at 9am each day!!) Conditions have been spring-like and great! Our groomers work hard each night to keep the hill in the best shape possible, and we remain 100% open.

We know the next question on everyone's minds will be; "When is closing day?" At this time, closing day is TBD. We will be watching the weather and the conditions on the hill and let you know when we know. All hours are weather-dependent and subject to change.

Also, just a reminder that SMASH has been postponed until Saturday, March 22, due to a wet forecast for Saturday!
