closest park is definately sunburst

tyrol is a little farther away but is so much better, they have so many features and rails

but most of us in the milwaukee, waukesha area have passes to sunburst

sunburst is open like 10-10 i think. later in the season though its closed in the mornings i believe, but that is only like the last week or so of operation.

Just throwing it out there that Cascade's stairset from the MWO two years ago will now be a permanant feature in the park. at leas 2 rails on it, but probably 3. And talks of a weekly rail jam on are in the works. Should be super sick

I like sunburst but often times if you dont get there early in the day all the snowboarders put huge ruts into the jumps and rails....but my favorite park that i have skied in wisco IMO is Cascade....i love it after the MWO because their jump line is always sick...havent been to tyrol too much but i loved it at the spring jam
