Please provide a brief description your ski hill/resort?
Tyrol Basin Ski and Snowboard Area provides family-friendly outdoor winter fun by offering skiing and boarding for people of all ages and Tyrol-Chair-Rideabilities. Located just 5 miles north of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin and 20 minutes from Madison, Tyrol’s 17 tree-lined slopes extend over 40 acres on the 300-foot vertical hill. Easy access to the slopes is provided by three triple chairlifts, two rope tows, and a handle tow. Freestyle skiers and snowboarders have plenty of room to ride and ski in any of five terrain parks designed for beginners to advanced skiers and boarders, or in one of the few half-pipes in the Midwest. For three consecutive years, Transworld Snowboarding Magazine readers have voted Tyrol Basin to have one of the top 3 terrain parks in the Midwest! While retaining a quaint country resort atmosphere, Tyrol has proven to be a popular destination for boarders and skiers from around the country and host many of the area’s most anticipated snowboarding and skiing events.
What is unique about your property or what separates your ski hill from others in the area?
Tyrol Basin Ski And Snowboard area is locating in a picturesque valley in southern Wisconsin. All of our runs are tree lined and the view from the top of the hill allows you to look over miles of rolling hills and valleys. The original barn on property has been converted in to our main lodge and has a very unique charm to it. We are family run at Tyrol Basin and believe in the highest customer service possible. From your first encounter at the ticket windows to grabbing a snack to go in the Cafe will find friendly employees to greet you as you spend your day on the slopes with us.
Any tips for first time visitors?

How many ski runs do you offer? What percentage of them are beginner, intermediate and advance? What is your favorite run and why?

All of our meat products come from a local company and our ground beef is delivered fresh 3 times a week. My favorite food item in the Cafe is our Beef Brisket. The Brisket is cooked fresh everyday by our kitchen staff and has a wonderful amount of flavor, spice and herbs added to it!
