Four Lakes

Closest ski area to metro Chicago, the Four Lakes Ski and Snowboard Area is an ideal place to bring the family. It's all located within a cozy 20 acres of terrain. Although the vertical is a relatively short 100 feet, it's ideal for learning the skiing or snowboarding or honing your skills in between weekend trips.
