Minnesota first run who's going where! - Snowboarding Forum

Ridethesnow80 · 10-16-2012, 07:06 AM

Just a couple months away from the season! Checking out where every one plans to go on the first run of the season! I'm prob going to welch village I would go to spirit in Duluth but my girl friend only in her second season of riding so trying to get her dialed in to handle bigger places. Doesn't even have to be a MN resort. Just checking out where every one checking out and maybe get some ideas for new places to go check out. I'm in my third season in MN used to riding in VT back east so I'm looking continue to find the next best place to shred!!

Yeah I heard lutsen is the spot to check out! Tough to do with having a four month old son might be able to figure something out this season ! Wish some resorts had day cares haha!

Already got mine in at wild. Hopefully Lutsen is open into may, then I can say I rode 8 months out of the year in mn.

Yeah at best out east I rode 6 months! When it snows in mn I stays first year hear in 2010 was an epic one hope this year will be a good one! I took my girl friend to wild mtn night riding and the lights went out right as we riding down! Had to walk the rest of the way down pretty interesting ! Do you know any spot that have a boarder cross run at all? Only one I've seen was at trollhaugen in WI

Lutsen has bordercross usually, I've seen one at Afton but idk if they have them every year

Yeah I didn't see it at Afton last season. You usually ride wild mtn you go any where else?

C.B. · 10-17-2012, 11:58 AM

Nah I only go to wild for early season, I split my time between spirit and giants mostly.
