Wilmot Mountain Ski Resort

End of year celebration. I think I'll do it next year.

Using a gift card was a nightmare, do not recommend. Really fun place tho!!

The cost to ski on a capped landfill is extremely high. It doesn't resemble what it used to be; Vail Resort has ruined the atmosphere. View menu

I don't like their little sign at the entrance of the resort, almost missed The road with that little sign... What happened to that big sign they used to have?

I grew up skiing here, I have a lot of great memories from there. I haven't been there since the new ownership, but I will try it this year and recommend Wilmot to anyone close as a perfect starter skiing place.

If you visited this place in the past (I learned to ski here in the 60s and 70s), you'll find that it has improved in almost every aspect. I usually go on weekdays, arriving right when the lifts open, and I enjoy skiing for a few hours on the well-groomed trails. The staff is also very friendly. View menu

My daughter took snowboarding lessons here with her school. Her instructor was amazing and awesome. The instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, and positive. My daughter learned a lot this season. The resort itself was not the cleanest. The bathrooms were often out of hand soap and paper towels. The tables were very rarely clean in the tavern and dining areas.

Ski Patrol said that I can not stand on the snow without a lift ticket. I was standing at the base of the hill. I was taking pictures of my child. The excuse was, if you get hit by a skier, then I 'd have to take care of you Skiers and snowboarders run into eachother all day and night on the hill, clearly displaying zero control and I do not see ski partol trying to get them off the hill to prevent hurting people.

Given its location and what it offers, I think it's a fantastic little spot for skiing in the Midwest. I appreciate the layout; we typically stay in one area for most of the day, taking a single lift to explore various runs. I've previously taken a ski school class and had a wonderful experience with our instructor. Just a heads up, the ski lifts can get quite crowded on weekends, so be ready to spend a fair amount of time waiting in line. View menu
