3/6/2026 Icy conditions this morning all around Duluth! Our runs are in good condition and we are currently de-icing our lifts. We may have a slight delay in opening but are working hard to get everything up and running by 10am. We will post here if there is a delayed opening.

Icy conditions today in Duluth! We are working hard to get the mountain partially open at 10am. Between de-icing the lifts and grooming the slopes, we will incrementally open as we can. Our plan right now is starting in the center of the hill and working our way to the outer runs.

If you are driving to Spirit today to come ride, be careful as the roads are icy.

Update 9:45am: Delayed opening on Spirit Express II

02/28/26

We’re open today! Last night’s wind storm has passed and we’ll be open from 10-8 today for our usual operations

3:00pm Mountain Closing Due to High Winds. For the safety of our guests and staff, we are closing all downhill operations including lift service, tow rope, bunny hill, and our restaurants. Tubing hill will remain open. Our Late Night @ Lone Oak rope session is cancelled. We will post here early in the morning on Saturday with an update for the day.

02/26/26

Fresh snow and blue skies today! Tomorrow we've got some warm temperatures so leave your layers in the car and pack your spring skiing clothes.

02/20/26

Skiing is good this weekend after the storm dropped 12-16 inches on the mountain! All lifts and trails are open and temperatures are looking ideal. This is the time to get outside!

02/19/26

WE ARE OPEN! Today we will be open for some of the best riding of the season. The Highline Lift will open at 10am and the Spirit Express II will open at 11am after de-icing.

The storm dropped down a thick blanket of snow and has since moved on leaving us with some prime skiing conditions and temperatures in the high 20s - low 30s. If you can't make it out today, don't beat yourself up too hard. Temperatures for the next week are hanging in the mid-teens to mid-20s so this snowpack will stick around for a while.
