Where do we train?

Mad Alpine is located in Madison, Wisconsin. We are happy to call Tyrol Basin our home mountain but we travel to many ski resorts across the midwest and nationally to give our athletes new experiences.

Tyrol Basin has been a great partner and provides us with superb conditions and terrain options throughout the season. Tyrol is located just 5 miles north of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin and 20 minutes west of Madison. Tyrol's 17 tree-lined slopes extend over 40 acres on the 300-foot vertical hill.

racing organizations we work with

Mad Alpine athletes that progress into ski racing have two fantastic options - Midwest Alpine Racing or US Ski competitions!

Midwest Alpine Racing: For a fun local recreational (yet still competitive) league athletes can compete in Midwest Alpine Racing events. These events are run at local ski areas in Madison and Milwaukee and are comprised of six ski clubs: Mad Alpine, Parks, SWAT, Ausblick, Lakers and Holy Hill. The events are fantastic for all ages - great for children trying racing for the first time and also great for athletes all the way through into High School as it allows them to compete against other high school racers in our region, outside of the local Madison high school circuit.

US Ski: US Ski & Snowboard is the governing body of ski racing in the United States. This is the main pipeline of racing for skiers wishing to progress to the highest levels in our sport (college racing, national and international racing, and for those who have aspirations of qualifying for the US Ski Team, etc). These races typically require more travel to destinations throughout the Midwest (and possibly even nationally or internationally for older age groups). US Ski races are traditionally fun, well run, competitive, and require a higher level of commitment from the athlete.
