tryol hardly disappoints, and ive heard cascade has really been stepping up the past couple of seasons. each are about 20-30 minutes from madison, tyrol is down 151 and cascade is up 94, couldnt be much easier.

IMO cascade>tyrol, they have better jumps better rails, and better runs in general, but it is more pricey.

are you saying that tyrol has better rails and jumps?

I have to disagree, cascade a both step ups and step downs, and many normal tables. tyrol has what a 20footer and a big air jump? rails, cascade kills it in rails, they have the 80ft s rail if you are daring and a 40 coaster and a fucking school bus with a rail on the top!

Tyrol does have the staricase but that imo is the only thing they have on cascade!

i havnt been to SB since they opened. not worth it for me when i ski free at wilmot and tyrol and cascade are just as close and cheaper. plus their setups are better.

Hey, i go to madison as well and ski at tyrol. Its probably going to take you around 30 min to get there if your going straight from downtown. It really depends on how fast you drive and what kind of directions you have been given.
