Tyrol Basin may be small in acreage but it is huge in experiences. As a lifelong skier, I was looking forward to sharing the sport with my grandson. I researched various ski programs in the area and found that Tyrol Basin had, hands down, the best deal for teaching little ones how to slide down the hill on two sticks of wood :-) The instructors are well trained on how to work with kids; despite a few meltdowns they get the little ones up the magic carpet and down the bunny hill. I was so impressed with Tyrol Basin, then I took advantage of their $12 Tuesday deal; for 12 bucks every Tuesday you get a lift ticket and if you need to rent gear that's $12 also. Of course the skiing in Wisconsin can't rival being out West, but when you can't make it to Colorado or Utah you might as well spend some time at Tyrol basin you won't regret it!
