  I have skiied Wilmot for over 40 years. With their eight chairlifts, they do a great job of moving people. Their lift lines move real quick. We are lucky to have such a great ski area so close to the Chicago area. Keep up the good work

  I grew up skiing Wilmot Mountain as a kid. My brother and i were in the Blizzard Ski School out of the Western Suburbs. We went to Wilmot every Winter Saturday from ages 8-18. We both still ski today and all over the country. I currently ski Boyne Mountain as I live in Michigan now, but all credit for my skills go back to those weekly lessons at Wilmot! Skiing for 40 years now and counting! If your in Michigan, come see us at themountainchalets.com

  I was just there a couple of weekends ago, and was really impressed with the quality. I expected just a small hill, but it was pretty big.
  
  Would you guys say it's worth the extra drive for Cascade or Granite?

  Wilmot is a fun small "mountain". How about some articles on the other Chicago area resorts (Alpine Valley, Raging Buffalo, Mountain top at Grand Geneva)?
