We went on the first day of the 2016-17 season to check out all the new improvements. For those who have been there before, you may recall how tired and worn down this place was. The lift upgrades and new modern snow making equipment are the star of the show. The new chairlifts, while not high spee...

Hard to compare to places Ski locations around the area. I would say that it is bigger than Villa Olivia/Four Lakes but smaller than Alpine Valley Despite having more runs. While Alpine Valley has less runs, the runs at Wilmot are shorter in length meaning you spend more time on the chair lift than ...

Went tubing with my family and I think the staff was too strict. One of the lifts was down which made for longer waiting lines. And the website advertises you may go down with more than one person connected to you in your lane, they didn't let us do that as advertised.

Not bad for a day trip to southern Wisconsin. Equipment rentals were nice and the resort was making an effort for people to wear masks and distance where possible. They have quite a few runs but the lift tickets are high for this caliber resort.

The lifts and slopes are fine. In fact, in all the years going there, they've always kept up the runs well. The food area is usually okay. Shut down right now because of you know what (although misleading on the website because it says there is premade food available... it was just chips and cookies...

Since Vail took over a few years ago this place has came to life. The lodge is all new and spectacular. New and larger cafeteria serving a range of tasty snacks and meals. Walt's tavern is a great sit down restaurant that looks out at the hill. Great for thawing out after a long day on the hill. Fri...

Worst experience ever! We paid for a full day of ski school and my kids never moved out of the bunny hill. They had taken lessons before and skied. But we wanted them to get their ski legs ready for the season! The ski instructor told me they were the most "advanced" in the group......but could ...

To be honest this place is over priced for the quality of the "mountain". While you're there expect to spend at least a quarter of your time on the lifts because they are super SLOW and OLD! Customer service is poor too. If you plan on taking a trip here i highly suggest you go to alpine valley inst...

Gets better each year and as the upgrades get completed. Lighting on the hills are new LED's but they need better aiming and even more of them to eliminate the dark spots near the bottom of the runs. Definitely fun for the kids.

AMATEUR HOUR AT ITS FINEST .

1. You would think that buying tickets only online would give the people at Wilmot a count of the number of people that would be show up on a particular day. Nope. Had to wait ONE HOUR just to pick up lift tickets. Apparently, they were unprepared for the number o...

Was very excited to go back to Wilmot for the first time since they were bought by Vail. Don't think that purchased helped at all... Walked in from the parking lot and found no signs, no one to help point us in the right direction, no clear place to go for anything. Once we found it, it was so cr...

I really would not spend money here again. Take the extra 30 minutes and drive up to Alpine. Alpine Valley's runs are much longer and seem to be groomed better as well. When there's no natural snow, only a third or so of the hill is open, but they still charge you close to full price. Alpine also ha...

Great local hill. Not a negative thing except for prices have gone up a bit after the multi million dollar upgrade. Still the same old Wilmot barely an hour from Chicago when needed. Great place to learn. Check out 3 day pass that can be used on most any consecutive or non consecutive days. Will sav...

If you sign up for their free membership, you get a discounted rate. All the staff members were nice and helpful. The bunny hill was too flat to ski or snowboard. But they have a variety of different hills especially for beginners. They also have hand sanitizers placed randomly to remind people to p...

Pretty good slopes. We had good quality snow couple days back. So the ski was nice. Flow management at the lift was pretty good. For the rentals it is a little chaotic. For absence of good ski around Chicago, this is not a bad place at all.

We have gone to Wilmot 3 times this year, each trip I had to call Wilmot to change my dates. Both times I called the staff are super friendly Julie & Payton were understanding and took care of crediting back the charges.

Decent skiing. Food is good. Nice renovations. However prices are way too expensive a small hill in the Midwest. Rates should not be the same as places out west that's just ridiculous. Also the lift ticket office people always seem rude and standoffish. I inquired about a military rate - the old Wil...

To be honest, I've been to a lot of the ski resorts in wisconsin and never thought too much of Wilmot since it felt like the smallest. But they have a solid terrain park for those learning and saw multiple times of workers enforcing mask rules. It can get packed but it ended up being a good time!

Only gave it 5 stars to make sure the review is seen by as many people as possible - they actual deserve less than 1 Star! The ski store allowed my 13 year old son to make a 200$ purchase for ski goggles on my credit card that I did not authorize. They said they were so concerned as fellow parent...

It used to better before the Vail days. Obviously they redid the lodge and some of the chairlifts which is nice, but it is way too overpriced and crowded now. Wilmot used to be a great, affordable, no frills place to just go skiing and grab a drink at the old bar. Those days are over. On top of t...
