Very fun hill. They have almost everything you need. It is a great place to spend the day!
Had a good time. Runs were exceptionally groomed. I hadn't been to this hill in a long time and it brought back some good memories. If you like to ski on well groomed runs, quad lift and short line ups, then this is the place. Good runs and friendly staff.
Fun for the whole family! The staff are incredibly helpful and my kids always have a great time at the hill.
We are so lucky to have a beautiful little hill like this right in town! Staff are amazing, hill is always in great shape, best poutine in town, and operates as a non-profit organization!!! I've been skiing here every winter for 35 years, and I still can't get enough! Thank you to all th staff and volunteers!!!
Was not skiing (just watching the kids), but nice looking runs and appeared to be well groomed. Quad lift with short lines and this was on the first day of March break when the lift fees were sponsored by ELNOS. Rentals seemed average, and their medical/rescue team appeared to be on the ball, (2 injuries during my two visits) . Chalet was ok, food was typical, staff seemed friendly and rental staff was helpful to try and arrange an instructor for an "off" day. Kids had a lot of fun and were skiing/snow boarding until the last lift trip.
Finally made it out to this great little hill. Conditions were great and the sense of community at the hill is just what we need to keep going. Nice lodge and bar, snack bar too! Lodging in Elliot lake is tricky, book well in advance!
Very nice little hill. People are extremely friendly. Lessons for the kids were amazing!
Great ski hill. A variety of runs. No line ups for the lifts! Friendly atmosphere in the chalet.
