The More You Snow
- Located right in America’s heartland, Wilmot Mountain is the Midwest’s center of all things winter. Our love of snow sports knows no boundaries, including state lines (Not only is it on the border of 2 states, but is in 2 separate WI towns). Wilmot Mountain's welcoming 'come as you are' approach to skiing and snowboarding has created memories for countless people.
- The tubing park and the ski hill are two different entrances! Knowing that in advance will help streamline your arrival (uffdah, you want to go to the right part of the resort don’t cha know?)
- Be sure to book everything you need in advance on the website – especially rentals! Wilmot is proud to welcome many new skiers, which means, we go through many rentals. Secure yours ahead of arrival.
- Treat yourself to classic Wisconsin treats while you are visiting. Saturdays and Sundays grab a free snack during Kringle Time, or stop in at Ski Hill Grill for a brat and cheese curds. Plan your escape from the city and celebrate winter with us!
- Sign up for My Epic and check the alerts to get the latest real-time updates on the mountain.
