Grand Geneva Oceny / Recenzje

To wzgórze jest w najlepszej formie od 20 lat. Przyjdźcie zobaczyć, co zrobili!

• W 2024 roku powróciły Hot Dog Mountains, a cała skocznia jest pełna skoczni, konturów i pagórków. Jesteśmy pod wrażeniem nowych funkcji i całego tego odśnieżania!

Wow! Mountaintop w Grand Geneva (znany również jako „Hot Dog Mountain”) jest w tym roku absolutnie niesamowity! Sam sezon 24/5 wystarczy, by to miejsce się wyróżniło, ale to ukształtowanie terenu naprawdę mnie zachwyca. Góra powróciła do korzeni w najlepszy możliwy sposób – kreatywne przygotowanie tras, profesjonalnie wyprofilowane hopki i niesamowita różnorodność raili. Widać, że zespół włożył całe serce w to, by każdy centymetr tego miejsca był pełen zabawy i emocji. Czarne diamenty tutaj są autentyczne – kiedy mówią „czarny diament”, to mają to na myśli. A ta gigantyczna hopka, która wisiała na włosku przez kilka dni? Absolutnie epicka. Trzymam kciuki, żeby takie atrakcje zostały z nami na stałe. Z większą liczbą raili i przeszkód niż gdziekolwiek indziej w południowo-wschodnim Wisconsin (i szczerze mówiąc, dorównując najlepszym kurortom na Środkowym Zachodzie), to miejsce w tym roku podniosło jakość o kilka poziomów. W niedzielę pojeździłem na nartach z żoną i to był idealny balans zabawy dla wszystkich. Ona uwielbia łatwe trasy, a ja nie mogłem się nasycić bocznymi zboczami i licznymi przeszkodami. Po raz pierwszy mogliśmy jeździć na nartach całą rodziną, wszyscy świetnie się bawili i świetnie się bawili. Hot Dog Mountain powraca i jest lepszy niż kiedykolwiek. Jeśli jeszcze go nie wypróbowaliście w tym sezonie, na co czekacie?

Zapłaciłem pełną cenę za zamknięcie o 19:30, a i tak przejazdy nie były tego warte.

Skied here 1/26/20. I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the hill isn't very high. But there are a lot of interesting and challenging runs for any skill level. It was the first time for the little kids in our family. The lessons were well-organized and helpful and the beginner terrain was perfect for them. I skied on a Sunday and was very pleased to find out that, as a senior, my lift ticket was half-price, $27 -- not bad! The only downside to Grand Geneva is that they want you to fill out a profile/liability form before skiing. You can do it on the computers in the chalet, but the lines can be long. But, you can also do this on-line beforehand. My advice is to fill this out the night before and then you can skip the lines. Last piece of advice: try the walking tacos in the cafeteria -- very good!

• Senior half price
• Profile and Liability Paperwork

We love it here. Perfect outing of snowboarding, skiing, sledding and ice skating with our 5 year old daughter. Lodge bar and restaurant has a warm cozy fireplace and ideal upfront views of the slopes. Yummy menu of foods to choose from and drinks to warm you up. Little arcade style carnival coin games inside the lodge. Coin lockers.

• Easy to get in a full day with kids
• Their new ski boot rentals are not true to size

I had pretty low expectation for Grand Geneva based on some of the other reviews, but I went anyway just to try something different. Surprisingly, though it is small, it does have some terrain which is actually fun for an advanced skier. The trail "Top Notch" was steep and ungroomed, as was "œTimber". This was a really nice change from the overgroomed, allegedly, "œblack" runs most places have. Sure, it wasn't very long, but there was also no line for the lift, so I never had to wait to get back up the hill. On the down-side, Grand Geneva did not have much in the way of long, blue, cruising runs for intermediates. As a place to learn, though, it seemed fine. I could definitely see taking my kids there.

• top notch trail, nice lodge

Grand Geneva is a resort that overall caters to wealthier Chicago people and it shows. Lift tickets and food are expensive for what it is offered. Really its a ridiculously small hill. There are two steep "Bump" hills and then a few runs that go around and between them. We went there on opening weekend when they offered free skiing or else we wouldn't have bothered. Its bunny hill is nice for learning. Most of the runs are very short. If you are serious about skiing or snowboarding go else where. At Christmas time the decorative lights are very nice at the entrance to the resort.

• Nice bunny hill for beginners
• Tiny Hill, expensive food and tickets

This is ideal for kids, or someone just learning, but beyond that I can't see a reason to go here.

• Nice bartender
• Tiny slopes

We have been going to Wilmot for a number of years before trying out Grand Geneva. For basically the same drive, we get conveyor belts instead of tow ropes for our 4-year-old kids (back-saver and glove-saver), a beautiful resort, and a water park. They always have great ski and water packages too.

• Conveyors, Water Park, Resort Atmosphere & Service
• Short runs

I don't like to bash many resorts, but this place so far is my least favorite in Wisconsin. Last year we went up here to try it out for some new scenery, and was not having a good day at all. The runs are short and it was very icy. The staff wasn't helpful at all or kind. There was a little girl in front of us on the lift that fell coming off the lift, and instead of stopping the lift or asking if she was ok, the operator just stared at her. I can only see this place good for beginners, which we had a couple with us, but for the most part, I would visit elsewhere unfortunately.

• Decent Size, Great Price
• Small, Terrain, Staff
