rwmaron Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hope Spirit will be able to start making snow soon. Not looking good on the snowmaking front - heard today that the earliest possible open would be November 30th. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Went up to cover up the boat and saw snow on the mountain top at Spirit! For the snowmobile cross, nothing on the hills yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruincounselor Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 When I lived in Duluth I hated that snowcross. It pushes opening back one or two weeks every year. I know they make a lot of money at the hill and it brings in the $$ to the community; but it's not my thing. Thanks for the updates. I'll be over that way in January.

rwmaron Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Time to call it good on this thread - there's some cold weather on the way but it's still a week or so out. I was out at Spirit yesterday morning for chair evac training then took a walk. The new chalet at the bottom of Four Pipe is coming along nicely - tentative opening date of sometime in January:<a href="http://s996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/?action=view¤t=November172012008.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/November172012008.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Parts of the downhill mountain bike trail wind through the small ravine between runs 9 and 10 - looks finished but still signed as being closed to the public: <a href="http://s996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/?action=view¤t=November172012018.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/November172012018.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/?action=view¤t=November172012017.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/November172012017.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Snow in front of the chalet (see Dave's photo) and some scattered mounds most of the way down run number 9 (though I'm betting that they'll harvest this for the Sno-Cross): <a href="http://s996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/?action=view¤t=November172012015.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/rwmaron/November172012015.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Went bike riding today with temps in the 50's.....
