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!

I used to always go to alpine but last year i finally gave up on their park. I'm interested to see how the alpine park is this year with the new manager tho. i got a pass to wilmot for this season.

I've been at Welch Village the last 3 years, but the park is dogshit so I'm trying out Wild Mt. for a season pass this year. Trying to hit up some Buck and Hyland and Afton a few times too though.
We should set up some kind of NS meet at a hill sometime. I think it'd be kinda cool to meet a bunch of newschoolers and shred for a day. Any takers?

Wilmot and Alpine have always sucked. Take the extra hr drive and go to Tyrol if you're looking to ski park.

Park will probably be fully open by mid Jan, judging by the past 7 years i've skied there. BUT the new park director they hired last year did an awesome job with it compared to the previous guy so i hope he can get a quicker jump on it. I hope he can get it done by christmas.

No pipe this year again, they had the rail garden with the 100 footer last year which was dope, you could hit 8 rails in one run when they had that set up.
