Spirit Mountain, located in Duluth, Minnesota, is tucked in between Lake Superior and a towering forested ridgeline, creating long, legendary winters. One of the greatest "surburban" ski areas in the Midwest, Spirit offers a big 700-foot vertical drop, eight lifts including a high-speed quad, 22 runs and two terrain parks spread out over close to 200 acres.

The sprawl of twinkling city lights at night is one of the greatest night skiing views anywhere.

Wish there were more advanced runs, but this is still the best ski place in MN/WI besides Lutsen. Runs are well maintained, lifts are fast and comfy (although only 2 are open during weekdays, but you still have access to all the runs) and prices are reasonable.
