Granite Peak

I haven't been to GP since January 2008.  While GP is the highest "mountain" within a reasonable driving range of where I live (Chicago), it is far enough away that personally I would stay at least one night if I go there.

In general GP is steeper at the top and then flattens out quick.  I like how they have designated tree riding there.  I can't speak on the park set up, but I've heard they've been pretty good.  And while they claim 70+ runs, keep in mind that any little crossover from one run to the next is called a run.

It also tends to be pricier than other resorts, but they usually have deals with some including lodging.  I've done their buy 2 days get the 3rd day free deal before.

Peak is a pretty sweet place to go... but like said above it is pricier then the surronding areas. The top is steep and they have a couple cliffs to go off. The bottom is pretty flat but a pretty long ride. They have 3 parks all differnt levels from beginner to advanced. No half pipe but i think they have 40 and 60 footers. Overall a sweet place to go and best deal is to go on tues/thursday nights. tickets are only 15 bucks... Hope that hels

Granite Peak is definitely a lot of fun. Some of the widest variety of terrain available in the midwest.  Too bad they are doing this...

That is really lame. I was thinking about heading up there this winter to check it out. Think I will pass now.

TOTALLY bogus that they've made 3 runs skiiers only...

if ur gonna come out west just pay a little more and come to park city. i live out here and i gotta say its the best riding ive ever done.

I guess if I did go I would just ride the rest of the hill and then hit the skiers only toward the end of the day. oops didn't see the sign, want my ticket? I was going to leave anyways.

looks like some wisconsin poaching . lets round up some troops and hit those runs deep.
