Well, we have been skiing Spirit. This was a slow year to open runs, but Wednesday helped. We got some powder and crud, and even a few “off piste” turns.
Spirit has been pretty good. Lift lines not to bad, and good mask compliance. (With friendly staff reminders). Portapotties all over the hill too.
I was originally thinking of heading to Lutsen Wednesday, but neither the 4th grade pass, not our Indypasses, work during Christmas break, so stayed in Duluth.
We went to Mount du Lac Thursday. Not somewhere to come back this year.
Apparently they require masks in the lift line, but since this is neither signed, nor monitored by any staff, the result is 3 lines, with no separation, and only about 30% masked..
Then I had the (unmasked) guy behind me ask if he could ride the chair with me(FYI, it’s an old, narrow double).
They also had the bar/restaurant full of people. Apparently Wisconsin has not closed indoor dining?
