Ski/Snowboarding in the Midwest

[Dashaansafin]

I go to college in the Midwest in Chicago, I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for some places hopefully nearby, it kills me to have to wait until break to hit the mountains....

THanks

Crystal Mountain and Boyne Mountain in Northern Michigan are okay.

Thanks for the quick reply! I just want somewhere to go that is not a complete sh*thole and with open trails about now...I'd really like to escape over thanksgiving break. Hopefully its less than a 3 hour drive.

I come from New Jersey and Camelback/Mountain Creek quality is ok.

Thanks!
