WI parks

What part of WI are you in?

Milwaukee. yeah i want to hit up granite also. i think me and mikeD are planning something. still to early to tell.

i heard big bend also. i'm a beginner sooooo this should be an interesting season and i plan to go for days

Ok ... I live about 5 miles from Granite Peak, Yes it has great features and many parks spread through out the entire mountain. Its nice because it does have a beginner park area as well as a much more advanced area. The mountain is set up very nice and has lots of different things to try. If you live in Milwaukee check out Chestnut Mountain, prolly about half the time to get to than Granite. Its in Galena Illinois and has lots of cool features as well. Also has a beginner area. Either place is great and lots of fun to just ride as well

thanks speedy i'll check it out

dude i live in new berlin and im out at alpine all the time i snatched up a season pass this past week and im ready to get it in. sunburst i havent been to but i hear its legit. alpine is just closer for me in east troy and i like the way they the guys there have the park set up. its always being changed

Ive never been to tyrol. Ive just heard alot of people talk about it.. Usually if im headin that way i just got to cascade or make the trek to devils head. I mostly go to chestnit or alpine. Mostly alpine cause its closer.

when i was at cascade they had the stair feature up. I fire carackered the stairs. Prolly the funnest trick to mess around with.

Im a big fan of devils head. probly gonna pick up a season pass this year.!!!

Hey i know this is "WI Parks" but for anyone that doesnt know, Chestnut Mt in Galena Il is having their anual swap meet Sunday. There are some crazy deals on hardgoods there. Last year i got brand new 32 boots for 30 bucks and my friend got k2 bindings for 15. If youre around the area, check it out.

Originally posted by HAVEN2135 Do any of the resorts in Wisconsin have good lessons or programs for learning how to ride park or pipe? Most of my friends have little interest in riding park, but I would like to check it out.

the best one i know is granite peak. i had a lesson there and had a blast. the instructors are so nice and they actually help you as much as they can. they helped me get better.

yeah for the rich!

granite peak, devils head, and chestnut are solid places. granite has the best park in the midwest and chestnuts got a solid one also. devils head doesnt have the greatest park but they definatly improved last year plus i like the rest of their runs. they are longer then cheasnut and granite peak. Dont let granite peak fool you with saying they are the tallest in the midwest, their park is amazing but for riding around the runs for the most part are super short.

i'm going to hit up sunburst first.

my cousin was telling me if you can't bomb chestnut you wont make it so whatever that means.

anyways yeah its been raining the past couple of days and still waiting for it to get a little colder so it snows.

but in Nov - Mid december i'll be trying to get some runs in. before i head out to granite peak and devils head. (assuming devils head and granite peak cost the same just location is farther)

Devils head is nice. I go up there for Rock N Ride twice a year. It's an awesome event, a few sponsers, raffels, russian downhill and lots of alcohol!!! Chestnut Mtn kicks ass too, can't go wrong!

^ yeah i go there a lot. this years gonna be a lot better this year. cant wait for the new park setup 

some days parks are open some days there aren't.

anyone been out yet this past week? LMK cause i can go devils head on monday if possible if i get more information

so your telling me skiresort is wrong?!?

anyone who wants to meet up and ride with me at Granite just PM me, Im up there alllll winter

on the site it says their open. well its been snwing up north i dont know how many feed but it snowed yesterday and wednesday

no shit tyrol opened today.....? i cant imagine theres much if anything to snowboard on. Not going to lie its a beautiful fall day. I busted out the freebord and hit this soapbox durby hill by my house and it was awesome

Just a park sections open at tyrol and its all walk up. im not sure how it is yet but some friends are going tomorrow.

Yeah id say cascade and tyrol's park are almost the same. Its for sure better that devils head. I just dont like devils head. Chestnut id say in like January has the 2nd best park besides granite.

Devils head a sweet park last year.. They had everything, more then some scattered jumps as previously stated. They usually put something awesome together every year for park and switch it up thru the season

Originally posted by BoxStomper Granite only got like 3 inches total. I was up there today getting my pass. There isnt snow at Granite, it all melted and its crap there, it was like 50 some degrees. It supposed to open on the 19th, but I dont see that happeneing.

and its not cold enough!
