Spout Springs Ski Area offers a convenient hill to get some quick alpine touring fitness laps. Given the limited hours of the ski area and the non-motorized status of the mountain, you will usually have it all to yourself. The management often waits until 3-4 feet of snow are on the mountain to open, so early season and late season ski laps are possible on ungroomed open terrain. When they're open, you might be able to get some laps in during their night skiing too.
The back side offers some backcountry ski terrain too, into the Lookingglass. If you are skinning when the resort is open, look to avoid downhill traffic by climbing up the right side of the mountain using the alternate ski tour route shown on the EnterActive Map.
