Best ski resort close to Chicago. Midweek is the optimal time to go if you can swing it. No crowds and lower lift ticket prices, friendly staff. Obviously no comparison to skiing out west, but the runs are just long enough to enjoy, even for advanced skiers. Great variety of jumps, rails, and boxes in the terrain park including two separate runs. Recommend dining in the dining area on second floor, or pack your own lunch, fast food on first floor should be skipped.
