I grew skiing New Mexico/Colorado and while there is no comparison it is still nice to have a fun little hill close to home for some quick turns. People complaining about the ice or small hills must have forgotten that they were in Missouri and that all of the snow is man made. They do a good job of keeping the trails groomed and the terrain parks in shape. Only down side is the cost of lift tickets which is 50 or so bucks but they do have discount days and nights. Speaking of nights the whole area is lit up at night so you can ski up until 1am. Is this Breck? No but its not bad for what was once a golf course either.
