they do have 2 highspeed lifts, and that helps alot with crowds. but one thing i do not like is that their park is all on one side and it only surviced buy a slow triple chair. they realy need to make a small, medium and large park. they tend to have eveything mixed in and its hard to not cut someone off when trying to get to the rail or jump you want to get to. there is not a lot of steeps here, so you tend to play around on the blues and green runs

descent terrain for the area depending on what day you go. try to avoid friday night and the weekend otherwise it might get a little crowded. also try to aviod it after a string of subzero weather because the base lay can get very icy. the black diamond runs are basicall the same and can get a little boring. The most diverse terrain is on the beginner/intermediate trails so going there and goofing off by finding a jump in the woods or playing best trick on your board. The terrain Park is very well kept and constanly canging but also the most crowded place in the park but a few runs through it are always fun.
PS: super nachos is the choice food there

The short?overpriced and poorly managed. The long?Alpine Valley is one of the few options available for downhill skiing in Southeast Wisconsin. Although this hill is half Mother Nature and half man made, it has fairly decent terrain for the area. A couple black runs and a terrain park for the adventurous offer the only highlights here. All runs are pretty much identical to each other and are mostly for the beginner to intermediate. Last weekend was my first trip to the resort and will most likely by my last. Driving into the parking lot promptly at opening on a Saturday, I was surprised to find the place packed. The local junior racing league was holding a meet, which did not happed to be posted on the resort website the day before. Only after getting on the chair lift did I notice that two of the main runs were closed and off limits for this. It wouldn?t be such a big deal (it is junior racing after all), but it closed most of the hill that had any decent terrain. After an hour and a half the parking lot was full and the only black run left open was too packed to enjoy any more. I packed up and issued a formal complaint with management, only to be told I should have checked the website and that they did not have any control over the portions of the hill closed. ?? On top of this, they had the boldness to charge the full price of $39 per lift ticket. If driving an extra hour or two to a better resort is out of the question, make sure to call for any events before you make the trip, otherwise settle for sledding in your back yard.
