A Look at Wisconsin's Top Ski Destinations

Since 2018, Gerald "Jay" Fahl has served as a thermoplastics molding operator at Scientific Molding Corporation in Somerset, Wisconsin. Outside of work, Gerald Fahl enjoys various activities such as traveling and downhill skiing.

With snowy winters and three dozen resorts for skiing and snowboarding, Wisconsin is the perfect place for those who enjoy spending an afternoon on the slopes. Among the state's most popular winter sports offerings are downhill skiing destinations for people of all ability levels.

On the Illinois border in Kenosha County sits Wilmont Mountain, which features nine lifts and nearly two dozen trails with a vertical drop of 190 feet. The resort is also home to a terrain park and tubing area for those interested in activities outside of downhill skiing. Another great option is Granite Peak in Wausau. At 700 feet, the vertical drop at this ski and snowboarding destination is the largest in Wisconsin.

Wilmont Mountain and Granite Peak represent just a small sampling of Wisconsin's top-notch ski areas. The list of notable mentions also includes Devil's Head in Merrimac, Whitecap Mountains Resort in Upson, and Cascade Mountain in Portage.
