Skiing In The Midwest?

I've been at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana since fall 2006. Incidentally, I have yet to ski while at school. It's safe to say that I am in full on withdraw and can't deal with it for another season. Just like any other skier, I have an affinity for fresh powder, but I know that's way beyond feasible in this place. I'm getting into freestyle a bit and I've heard of a few places, but nothing spectacular. Does anyone know about some decent places to ride out here? Even an average jump park will do.

Yah Perfect North has a pretty good park for being in the midwest and has a super chill vibe and all that

I also went to IUB, but I'm a perfect north local so I'll give you my somewhat biased view. You have 2 options.

1. Paoli. It's pretty much a straight shot down 37 and is 45 minutes away. Their stuff is ok.
2. Perfect North. It's about 2 hours or so depending on traffic, but it's well worth the drive.

You should also look into the ski and snowboard club if you haven't already. Theres usually people that go to Paoli nearly everyday of the week and I'm sure you could hitch a ride with them. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Now that you mention perfect north, it does ring a bell. I would be heading out this weekend if my 06 Public Enemies weren't stolen this past weekend. Again, I really appreciate the suggestions and I'm definitely going to head out there at some point. If there are any current IUB students looking to ski, DROP  ME A LINE!
