Elm Creek in MN has only 60ft of vert, but somehow better park than most MN parks. 3 tow ropes, tiny magic carpet, and a tubing hill if youre up for that. Mostly a place for nordic skiing, and park.

I wish I had a tiny local ski hill I could night ski or just hit for a couple hours. I drive three hours minimum to ski, granted that's to Kirkwood, but it makes day trips with kids all but impossible.

Ruby Hill in Denver. Was there yesterday it's almost melted down about 100 feet. No chair, rope, or carpet but the 8 rails are pretty sick. And its 100% free.

Badger pass but I was a kid. The smallest as an adult was Snow Valley, I skied for a little while then got very drunk at the bar. I ended up trying to ski to car with my boots unbuckled and fell out of my skiboot into puddle. My ride won't let me in the car since I was soaking wet and had to ride back in my underwear.

Hahah super spoiled, Mt hood skibowl. It's so dope when there is a grip of snow. We'd ski for 12hrs and at night rip the trees with head lamps. Eat lunch mid mountain at the hut, short laps keep and low elevation help with endurance, park w rope tow and overall chill vibes.

My home ski area is the smallest ski area I think I will ever go to, i don’t know how many vertical feet it is but you can bomb the biggest hill in 10 seconds or less

This one ski hill, pretty sure it was called Fairmont Hot Springs Ski Resort or something along those lines, was for sure the smallest I have ever skied on.

Smallest hill I’ve been to is Willard Mountain in Upstate NY. Place is in the middle of hick country in upstate NY and is pretty fucking ghetto for a mountain with a 500ft vertical drop. Went there for high school races a few years back and I swear it’s hidden.

Only place smaller than Willard I’ve considered hitting up near my school is Beartown ski area up in Plattsburgh once the first snowfall happens so I can earn my turns and start my season early.
