Visited this hill Saturday - not what it used to be.
Stars should be better but number of areas (lifts) are closed and that impacts the training and usability of the hill.
5 out of 5 for location
5 out of 5 for staff friendliness
1 out of 5 stars for lift availability - impacts graduation from bunny run to a lower faster hill (you can walk up) was what I was told
4 out of 5 stars for food, they did their best with what was left as the site was closing down for season
3 max out of 5 for being able to teach kids due to the lofts - tbar and the other area not being really open due to lifts being broken or unstaffed- I consider this a bit of false advertising.

I had the opportunity to spend the day at the hill with my grandchildren when they went with their school. From the time they got off the bus until they hit the slopes the staff was amazing! Neither had skied before and the instructors were great and the kids had a wonderful day. I was very impressed with all the staff; kitchen/canteen, rentals, instructors and safety. Great place!

Small and sweet: convenient for MHat, rental process efficient, lessons awesome, online ticket purchase super simple. Only wish is for a chairlift without the "throwback sulphur" smell.

Terrible experience for my daughter. She went her school. Enrolled in lessons as expected. She’s never skied before and when she fell down for the very FIRST time, her instructor would not help her up. Instead kicked her ski over (many witnesses there) and it hit her in her other leg leaving a bruise the size of an orange. Completely disgusting. Find instructors with some respect for all skills levels please.

My son tried skiing for the first time. His instructor was Adam from England. He was patient, and great with the kids. He also played games with my son as well. Instead of just teaching them the skills all the time.

Local hill, with limited runs, but much cheaper and closer than a big mountain
Staff are helpful and friendly, the restaurant is cheap and cheerful
A regular visit for the family
