Here are the ones that are closest to Milwaukee.

Sunburst Ski Area. Which is located in Kewaskum, WI. Is theclosest ski area to Milwaukee. I believe its around 45 mins from Milwaukee tothere. Always has a good park. I’m working there this winter building park acouple nights a week.

Alpine Valley. Is located in East Troy, WI. Its about 45minsto alpine valley depending on where you live. They sometimes have a ok park.But they also have 2 high speed quad lifts which are super nice.

Wilmot Mountain. Is located in Wilmot, WI on theIllinois/Wisconsin Boarder. One of the older ski area’s in the state. Wilmot is about a hour from Milwaukee. Igrew up skiing here worked in ski school for a couple years. Built park for 3years. Bought a season pass there this winter. The park has its up and downs.

Crystal Ridge. The ski area everyone forgets about. Is locatedin Franklin, WI. Small but close. Check it out and forum your opinion on it.

dont ever suggest crystal ridge to anyone, it fucking blows, terrible owner, tiny, has one jump at most, one "rail" aka a welded metal bunk bed thats 3 ft. long.

Tyrol and Cascade probably have the best built/maintained parks in southern Wisconsin, but they are also a further drive from Milwaukee. Depending on where you are, probably about a 2 hour drive.

Where did you used to live?

its literally a garbage pile. i learned to ski there, but they do nothing to support freestylers. they dont let you make jumps, fix jumps, have fun, and bitch about everything.
