As a midwestern family that loves to ski, I cannot endorse Cascade Mountain as a great option for skiing. Or really any of the places that are within a few hours of Chicago. All of them are pretty terrible. It sounds like proximity to skiiing is just a “nice to have” for the OPs daughter, so I don’t think that puts Marquette out of contention. But, I wouldn’t count proximity to Cascade Mountain as much of a plus-factor either!
