  For the Twin Cities metro, this ski resort is decent and a pretty good value considering that the prices here are cheaper than the competition.
  
  However, be aware that this is not the best resort in the metro. The chair lifts here are signicantly slower than at other resorts, and both the lifts and the chalet here are very old and they should be replaced soon.
  
  By far, the best ski resort near the metro is Afton Alps. That place is a lot larger, they have more variety in their runs, and their chair lifts are newer and a lot faster than the lifts at Wild Mountain.
  
  Though, Wild Mountain has a few things over Afton Alps. Wild is open earlier and more often during the first part of the season, and they do a much better job at providing updates on their Facebook page. Wild Mountain generally lets you know a day or two in advance of a closure or of when they'll reopen, but you don't get any notice at all with Afton Alps. Third, Wild Mountain has significantly lower prices for their season passes and they have a lot of daily specials during the season.
  
  As for the other resorts, I'd say Welch Village is the second best, followed by Wild Mountain and Trollhaugen (those two are pretty similar in quality). Be sure to avoid Buck Hill and Hyland though, they're too small.
  
  Although I prefer Afton Alps, I recommend Wild Mountain to anyone who's on a budget because of their cheaper prices.

  National Ski Patrol was rude and inconsiderate, but Wild Mountain Management resolve the issue for us even though it was the national Ski Patrol's fault.
  Also a great place to take kids skiing I have been taking my daughter there since she was 3.
