Hello All,

It'll be my first time going to Granite Peak after moving from Utah to Chicago 3 years ago (Dear god I miss the mountains). I was wondering if any locals could give me some insight of the current park status, such as jump sizes available and rails (are the rails set up well and maintained?). Their website is pretty scarce on images for their current setup. Much appreciated! :)

Family moved and I go to school at Chicago. Yea I have a season pass at Wilmot and good god it's depressing. It's nice that the park is set up well there besides their sad excuse for a jump. But I miss Utah so so so much. I was just wondering how Granite Peak is currently doing this season. :)

Alpine valley and the rock snowpark are much closer than granite and have pretty consistent rail setups , at a fraction of the distance and cost . Chicago to Milwaukee is alot closer than wasau . Alpine has a little more ground area and the rock has a huge rope tow . I can vouch for the rock it's a good place to get tons of laps . Both places are full of cool people too .

Yea I actually have a season pass to Wilmot and the rail game is pretty strong since it’s owned by vail and they actually brought out team members from the Park City park crew to train them. I’m just heading out to Granit Peak for a school trip with friends! Thanks for all the help though! :)
