Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Classic tracks were shallow and on some sections non-existent. Debris is on the trail from the high winds we have been experiencing. Not blaming the groomers. We need more snow. Skating deck looked very hard and probably fast. Do not recommend good skis.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Skied both Saturday and Sunday in excellent conditions. Well groomed, plenty of snow (don't know how much more fell past Sunday afternoon.) Because I've always skied snowflake in Duluth I never went to the Spirit Mountain trails but they are excellent rolling terrain with a couple nice climbs and occasional vistas. Great experience.

Evening
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Classic track is good shape with just a few spots to step around. Track is hard packed, icy, and fast. Klister worked well, but track is very abrasive causing the klister to slough off. Skate lane was groomed and seems in good shape.
