From what I have been told it is pretty sick, but I have never been there. There are a few kids in here who ride there and have been there.

I was there one day last year. One of their parks was closed.. I have no idea why. Their big jump was super sketchy, and most of their park was built for snowboarders. It was decent, though. That was at the end of March, so it's probably different mid season.

I skied there once last year and I thought everything was sick set up for skiers or boarders the last jump in the big park was hard for me to judge speed because the landing of the second one was a head wall but other than that best parks hands down in wisconsin.

Once Granite gets its park going about a month or two into the season its really good! They arent all about getting up much for early season though. All the features are set up well for skiers but come lateseason and super busy weekends some of the rails do get really bad ruts from snowboards. They had four different parks up last season so you had alot of different terrain and features to hit. Overall I would have to say a contender for best in wisco.

yeah...they wont have their park open for awhile, but once they get it going that shits monayyyyyyy. Big jump was so perfect, and if you go during the right time, the lips nice and wide so you can carve off and stuff. The other parks have really good flow and you can get alot of hits in one run

Ive been there a few times and each time has been a blast. Fun rails, good jumps, and if you get tired of the park, they have some fun tree run and steeps for the midwest. Plus they can get some good natural snowfalls.

It's super expensive but I would say its worth it. I've been skiing there since I started skiing about 8 years ago. I've watched their park go from non existent to what I would claim as the best in Wisconsin (I've heard that from others too).
Last season they had four parks: one was mainly a railyard with two small jumps, a park with the big jumps, a beginner park, and another park with a a mix of everything. Granite Peak added a parks staff and they are the reason that it has really been stepped up, props to them.
They have a facebook page under Granite Peak Parks and a NS account and probably a myspace too. They are constantly asking for input, photos, and videos, and they take what people say seriously. When kids ask for different jumps they build them, and they are constantly working to arrange the flow of the park. Check out their Facebook page for a ton of photos and videos.
If you guys plan on coming anytime in January let me know and I will show you around!
