250ft. vertical in your backyard? Literally. And it can be yours!

I got pitch, but not much vert. And too much scrub oak. (Napalm?)

Burn it, but in your fireplace. Scrub oak is scary as a ladder fuel, so you are doing yourself a favor by clearing runs.

Is this out in Carbondale? I'd love to see some pics of your place if you've put any up.

I checked. My ski hill is only 60 feet of vert. But it is skiable, damn it.


Obviously I also have some scrub oak mitigation to do.

They can get 2' in a day sometimes. And it's far enough north that they generally keep what they get. But yeah, it's not Snowbird for sure.

Yeh, a bit too far north. Whatcha got down in Kawartha Lakes?

It actually looks like it could be a Christmas card.

You crazy nut -- glad to see I am not the only one skiing the neighborhood or yard.

One of my neighbors was out napalming the scrub oak on his side of Hillington this summer. Probably skiable now and he has about 5 extra feet of vert, which is like 25% of the whole thing. May need to map out a second run...
