if you want a good park go to Cascade. if you want to cruise for more than 30 seconds down a run you'll have to go to Upper Michigan.

i have been goin to school in milwaukee (aka mil-town) for the past three years now...only place around here is about 30-40min away and that is lil switz, sunburst, or alpine valley...if want to make your trip worth it though cascade mountain is worth the drive when they have their park and pipe done, its the hill i grew up on.probably the best one in the area and the benefits of the high speed quad are nice also :) tyrol basin can be pretty decent. they usually have a decent park - hill just isnt as big and if you wanna ride super pipe cascade is the place to be at :)

Milwaukee to Marquette 4&1/2 hours straight north 3 hours north of GreenBay and well worth the drive.

-BMC- Marquette Mountian is the best Park in the midwest! Doubt me? Try us I Double dare you

i was out ther the past week and drove by devils head and cascade both were like hella small to me, cascade didnt appear to have any high speed quad, but tht'd be sweet. I went to a shop Laacke and Joys and talk to a guy who said tyrol had a nice park with jibs and stuff. next time im in brew city ( ya i got the lingo down now) i'm gonna dirve over and check out tyrol. I heard lil switz is just like bad though. What about ausblick thts close to the place im gonna live the hartland-oconomowoc area.

^ ha if you think cascade and devils head look small well your in for a shocker at tyrol then-even smaller!!! funny you should mention Laacke and Joys cause i work there-one of the few if only chicks in the ski and snowboard department when its up for the season and yes cascade does have a high speed quad have for the past few years-like i said i grew up on that hill and ski there often during the season.

Best thing closest to Milwaukee is Sunburst. From there the best park is 5 hours away in Marquette, MI. It's the best park in the Midwest. The biggest mountain is Mt. Bohemia in the Kewenau Peninsula in Upper Michigan, no beginners allowed, ladies ski free.

Hey, I did talk to someone at Granitepeak last year that normally goes to Colorado. They were impressed with Granite. But they could have been expecting a whole lot less than what they got too.

Cascade's high speed lift makes it great.

^^^ never go to granite. Its notorious for poor parks and service, and in general not worth half the 45 bux they charge you.

in the jump catagory cascade>tyrol, now in jibs id say tyrol cause they have the 42 ft flat rail, and the stair case, but cascade has the bus rail and some nice kinks. What iwns it for me is cascades superpipe!
