Devil's Head Resort Snowboarding Zone
Riders Guide: Devil's Head Resort in Wisconsin is a great place for both beginners and advanced skiers, but it's especially fun for intermediate skiers, with 40% of the trails rated as intermediate slopes. 30% each go to beginner and advanced trails. The slopes are groomed twice a day, so everyone can have that great ski experience. Devil's Head offers 500 vertical feet with 30 runs and 12 lifts that make sure you can be on runs most of the time, instead of waiting on a lift. The slopes are steep and wide, offering easier, longer turns, with the longer run just at one-and-a-half miles. The slopes are smooth as opposed to bumpy with few sharp turns or surprises, though advanced runs offer more challenge.
Parks and Pipes : A new terrain park offers jumps, boxes, rails and a pipe for those who want a challenge. Just as the slopes are designed with long, curving turns, the terrain park is filled with natural rolls and banks. The jibs are ideal for new snowboarders as well as those who have a bit more experience. NASTAR is a ski and snowboard race program that can boast as being the world's largest, and Devil's Head offers registration for the program at their ski school.

Local activities like the Circus World Museum which chronicles circus history and excitement are fun for individuals and families.
