General info:

Wilmot has a 230-foot vertical drop with skiing/riding on 120 acres. There's a long run of 2,500 feet to keep you rolling, but despite being a bit small by even Midwestern standards, literally hundreds of thousands of Chicagoland skiers have learned to ski here in the last 65 years. The resort really caters to night skiers. Just follow the stream of taillights heading north out of Chicago or Milwaukee with ski racks on a star-laden winter night, and most likely they will lead you to Wilmot Mountain.
