I once drove up to a ski area outside of havre, montana called bear paw ski area. and the only lift which rose less than a 100 ft was wrecked by a fallen tree, by far the smallest ski area i've seen. Since my home resort is massive the little ski area closest to me has about 1200 vertical and 400 acres and its to me super small.

Hawk Island Snowpark in East Lansing, MI. Two small parks, no other hills, no chairlifts, just a T-bar.

I've only been to Willard once, and like I said, I liked the service there compared to West. Their lodge is nice and it's kinda steep for high school racing compared to West, too, even though high school races at Willard have to be on Monday nights because the mountain is closed to the public on those days. Just my opinion.

Wolf is actually quite large compared to many ski areas. It just seems small, because it only goes halfway up the mountain, but it does have 1000ft verdical

we used to have slalom races there way back in the day. it was actually kinda fun, there was nobody else there, and the tbar or ropetow or whatever it was back then was right next to the course.

They only used Banister as a park for one year. Then last season they moved it back to in between The Face and Sideburn. The Hometown Hero Rail Jam last March attracted a few people who work for the park crew at Whiteface. The set-up was a bit sketchy IMO.

Brace yourselfs for south sweden also my "local" mtn. Its the closest to me which is about 50 miles away.
Longest run is 1 mile, however the park is alright though. its peak is at 475 feet.
