This year I don't have time to go on a trip to the Rockies, so I was wondering if there was a good ski resort/mountain near chicago or southern Wisconsin

I have been been to gallina, illinois and they have a resort called chestnut mountain that has a black diamond, 2 blue squares, a bunny slope, and a intermediate bunny slope. and it's at the top of the mountain, so u ski down and ride up on the ski rope

Close to Chicago, like 2-3 Hours away I've been to two. One of them is in Galena and it is called Chestnut MT.
The other one is in Wimot, and it is called Wilmot.
Both are ok, both are not high so the ride down is not long, but it's always fun. Hope this helps.

try these sites:
I haven't been to any in Wisconsin or Illinois. Bittersweet, near Kalamazoo, MI is nice. It's smaller than anything you'll find in the rockies, but it's snow, it slopes, and you can get a bunch of short rides in, rather than 3-4 long ones.
