This place in Ontario I went to was literally a converted FARMERS FIELD,. It was 200 ft vert and flat as fuck.


I think a good rule of thumb is, that if you can farm on it, you shouldnt turn it into a fucking ski hill.

Hidden valley nj, learned to ski there. I went back recently and they probably thought I was stupid for skiing switch down the hill. It's mostly old dudes/families/racers. Wikipedia says 620 feet tall, but you probably ski down less than that, and I can't find the vert on their site.
