Well I live like 5 miles from North Chicago. There are a bunch of trash hills about 1 hour away. Tyrol Basin has a pretty nice park and pipe and that takes 2-2.5 hours. Nothing even close to out west though. Anyway, welcome.

I live in a northern suburb of Chicago and there are 3 'mountains' about an hour away and they are Grand Geneva Resort which has a good park, Alpine Valley that is alright, and Wilmot which is the worst out of all of them, they are all in Wisconsin. Then about 3 hours away is Devil's Head, Cascade and Chestnut mountain, those and ty are probably the best places.

why the fuck would anyone want to move to the midwest. this place sucks some major ass. Now I dont suck ass, but if I were to suck ass, I bet it would be just like this place.

I worked at wilmot the last two season. And yes it is a pile of shit there. but they did do a good job making snow this season so the skiing was good but no park. except for like a day or two there was a nice jump. the last day they where open was so sweet just a little jump but still fun.
