We also rented an Airbnb with an indoor heated pool just down the street in Spring Grove, which made the the weekend amazing. We went tubing first and then fun in the pool afterward. It turned into an awesome day and a really fun experience overall!

This review is only for the tubing portion of Wilmot…read more For a relatively flat geography, Wilmot is able to provide a decent tubing experience. There are several adjacent, straight runs (apparently 22, but not all utilized on our warm February day) which provide a decent and safe velocity for young and old alike. There's a conveyor/escalator type of tow that allows tubers to stand and hold their tube to get up the hill. Here's the downside... $55 for 2 hours is steep! Especially for the lack of variety in slope. The food and souvenirs are also way overpriced and it feels unreasonable for a large family to pay to go tubing here. Based on the prices online, it would be better to get a lift ticket and ski rental and have the day to ski, than to pay for 2 hours of tubing. I still recommend Wilmot for the experience. For my neighbors in the Chicago suburbs, it is a nice change of pace for a winter activity.

Kudos to Alpine Valley for hosting events during the summer and making snow for all the downhill…read moreskiing and snowboarding recreations. They have a decent lift ticket pricing. Lifts run at a reasonably faster speed than competing ski resorts. Runs are also longer than competing resorts. I would say the runs are softer than other resorts, so you can feel good going down Midwest black diamonds. They have ski and snowboard rentals including the shoes. Rental fees are separate. Decent amount of runs and lifts. Their food is great wait staff is helpful and friendly and the wait for food doesn't take too long. The lodge cafe offers hot drinks, bar food, bar, and sometimes live music! It's a nice nearby getaway for folks from the Milwaukee and Illinois area. Parking is also decent. They also have lockers for small and big sizes. Small ones cost 75cents each time you open the locker. $20 for all day. I'd definitely come back for a nice nearby drive away.

She was excited to try Snowflake Club last winter and it was a disaster. It was impossible to get on any trips and it was so disorganized. The majority of the ski day was her facetiming me in tears that she couldn't find her skis among other issues. After that I swore off local ski clubs, but decided to give Avalanche Club a try after hearing such good things. My daughter has been on 2 trip so far and absolutely loves it. I do think it helps that she's a year older to manage a ski trip on her own, but I've been really impressed with Jordan (the owner) and the rest of the staff. It's easy to get trips (even the week of), the communication is great and my daughter even said the lessons are better. The lessons are taught from resort ski instructors instead of their own staff,which seems to help with quality. The best part about is that they are gone ALL day (the early morning wake-up isn't so fun) and come back exhausted after a long day of skiing. She's looking forward to more trips this year...and in future years too!

The positioning on the equipment is uncomfortable, feels awkward, and intimidating. Basically the first thing I was told was, "It's okay if you fall." There is nothing to hold onto in order to help build up confidence and to get used to the machine. I had to sign several waivers so the company isn't liable. I didn't feel I received a lesson but rather the money I paid went to utilizing the simulator. If you have confidence to put yourself on a machine to learn carving- then this place would fulfill that need.

Yes, the emails and communication could perhaps use some work, but all the information is there, and most importantly my kids have had a fantastic time, learned a ton, and love to go every time they get a chance. Every time I drop the kids off I think of what a pain it was trying to get two kids plus ski equipment etc dropped off and then I imagine doing it times 300. One of my kids grabbed someone else's poles after the first day and the owner actually came and picked them up from my house - I'm sure she has to deal with this all the time and it was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!

The bus leaves from near Lincoln Park zoo Saturday mornings at 7am and gets back around 5. They have them leaving from other spots too. Has been an excellent experience. These people have been doing this for a long time and have it all figured out. Definitely either do season rentals at Viking or bring your own gear. Renting each week up there sucks. The only suggestion for the school is that they could be much more responsive to answering parent emails. Hard to have patience for that. Otherwise, I highly recommend.
