<p>Any snowboarding or skiing near Chicago? if so...how far away, how good, how cold.....?</p>

<p>and also...for those of you who live in the cold places....when you go snowboarding...what kind of clothing are you guys using (since it gets chilly up there)?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot...!</p>

<p>was able to find this: <a href="http://www.wilmotmountain.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.wilmotmountain.com/&lt;/a> its about 50 miles from evanston...<br>
in between skiing in the winter and sailing in the spring ... forget about working at NU lol</p>

<p>edit: found some even closer: <a href="http://www.villaolivia.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.villaolivia.com/&lt;/a> (although this place doesnt seem all that great)
this is a good listing: <a href="http://chicago.citysearch.com/roundup/39082/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://chicago.citysearch.com/roundup/39082/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>haha. You probably shouldnt even bother. I've been to most of the "mountains" around chicago, and all are hardly skiable. Except for a quick day out with friends, you're better off saving up money for real skiing.</p>
