Recreational Ski Resort in Wisconsin

Like many ski resorts in Wisconsin, Christie Mountain offers plenty of snow, but they also offer more. They take pride in their customer service and they have gone out of their way to provide ski slopes for all skill levels. Their double black diamond run features two cliff jumps for the adventurous, experienced skiers. Their wooded trails include the Timber Pup and the Timber Wolf. Regardless of how long you have been skiing, you will find a slope that is challenging and fun.

If not everyone in your party loves to ski, they will surely get a kick out of tubing. There are six tube chutes, and they range from mild to a white knuckle ride with bumps and jumps. There are over one hundred tubes available for use, and some are smaller for younger riders. Tubers must be over four years of age and only one rider is permitted per tube.

Both snowboarders and skiers will enjoy the progressive terrain parks. Three of these parks provide rope tow service, so you can reach them more quickly. There are grind rails, jumps, and a thrill called Rusty's Revenge, the most challenge part of the advanced run.

Christie Mountain provides equipment, so you can visit the park even if you never plan to take up skiing and invest in expensive materials. You can rent shaped skis, telemark skis, snowboards, snowblades, snowshoes, and tubes. Boots are also included in the rental price of equipment and come in sizes child 8 through adult 15. There are women's specific boots for snowboarding, so if you have smaller, more narrow feet, you will stay comfortable and not worry about your boots flying off while boarding.

For those who want to try skiing but have no experience, lessons are available. Beginner lessons are held every hour on the hours for snowboarding and skiing. It is a $2 fee and offers tips on the basics of skiing. Once you have your snow legs, you can still take a lesson. Advanced tips and tricks can be learned, even if you have been skiing for years. Children can participate in the Kinder school ski classes. Kids age three to eight will love learning how to ski. Classes are held on Saturdays and Sunday for two hours, twice a day. The program costs $30 and includes the rental of the skis, a lift ticket, the instruction, and a snack. You must register your child for this experience, so call ahead if you are planning a visit to Christie Mountain with a young, new skier.
