This is a small hill, close to Madison with three basic triple chairs, a magic carpet in the beginners area, and a rope tow dedicated to the terrain park. The runs are short because the total vertical is only about 280ft or 85m. There are some steeps, but they are very short. There is some tree skiing, even some very steep and challenging tree skiing with small cliff drops, but again it is extremely short, maybe 100ft of vertical, enough for maybe 5 turns and then you are out of it. The parks are very good for those who are into that, and they build a couple of enormous (by midwest standards) jumps, that honestly are probably a waste of snow given how few of the local skiers can actually send it off them. The bad part is that it that they seem to make inexplicable decisions on which lifts are open and where they are going to make snow. I was out there recently in December on a cold day, and they had snow guns blasting on every single open run, leading to really inconsistent conditions, getting blasted by snow guns even on the lift, and snow whales in the middle of runs you were skiing. These runs all seemed to have a sufficient base of at least 24in of artificial snow already. Meanwhile, half of their runs were still closed, yet they weren't making any snow on them at all even when the temperature was like 0F. It's now 3 days later, it has been below freezing for most of that time, but they haven't opened any additional runs. I was considering going back out there but not worth it to ski the same half of the hill I skied 3 days ago again and again. Their decision regarding snow making and lift/run opening make no sense to me.
