Skiing The Midwest

I ski in a ghetto called raging buffalo, right in my hometown of Algonquin,Illinois.
It's a shitty little hill, but it's our shitty little hill and we love it all the same.

All the skiers from the midwest, where do you ski and what street spots are around?
REP THE MIDWEST!

can go wrong with the mighty buck hill, airbag and big jumps with a nice big rivet to land in every time.

MothaDuck keith, he's possibly the worst ski hill owner ever, especially considering that he doesnt even like park, while his hill is only park, he might be selling it though. Chaz ortiz/johnny huege could buy it

If we want to do a meetup in the metro area then Hylands is pretty much smack dab in the middle. Just a thought though, I would be down with driving an hour to shred with some fellow NSers

Thunder Bay Ontario, home hill is Loch Lomond in Canada, and occasionally ride at Baldy in Canada, and at Lutsen and Spirit in Minnesota.

Spirit is pretty awesome.

I'm from the Joliet, IL area. Chestnut, Tyrol, Granite Peak are where I ride most. A meetup at Granite would probably work best. Right in the middle of the midwest with the best parks in the midwest.
