Hidden Valley

Pros: Usually good powder, not very crowded, and parking lots next to the slopes!
Cons: Could make more snow than they do, can get really windy at summit

Hidden Valley is one of the funnest ski resorts to spend a day at.

MY TYPICAL TRIP
I've had season passes to Hidden Valley for 2 years, and I've gone about 15 times each season. In my first couple of times to the valley, we would...

Pros: Ski School, Great for kids
Cons: Skiing is so-so, No variation in terrain

Ski season is here (finally) and I will attempt to review as many mountains as I can during the course of the winter. This winter I will be fortunate enough to go out west again to Colorado so I will be able to feature some great places. But I want to...

Pros: Great Lodge
Cons: Too Easy!

My many trips to Hidden Valley left me with the same conclusion every time. Hidden Valley's slopes are very simple with there black diamonds being more like blue squares.

Beginners would love Hidden Valley because of its great skiing and it...

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff
Cons: Make the snow if you are open, high prices on the drinks/snacks

We recently went to Hidden Valley on a friends advise. It had to be the best ski trip my wife and I have taken. We are both beginners and the weather was horrible for skiing, but with two kids we take any time we can to get away for a day or so.

Pros: Beautiful, laid back
Cons: Not very big

Having been raised in Western Pennsylvania, I learned to ski at a relatively young age. My first skiing experience was here at Hidden Valley. This resort is a relatively small one, but I feel that's where the charm is. Hidden Valley is not for the...

Pros: friendly staff and shuttle drivers, decent slopes, and cozy rooms
Cons: Very poor management, deteriorating and underutilized equipment, misleading pricing, and terrible late day skiing

I did not like this resort overall. Everything was disconnected (hotel, main office, fitness center, etc.), broken down (chair lifts and hot tub), and difficult to access. The rooms were comfortable and cozy, and the continental breakfast was pretty ...

Pros: Family-oriented, varied terrain
Cons: Unchallenging

Hidden Valley is best suited for families with beginner skiiers and young children. The terrain is not difficult, and although there are green, blue, and black runs, even the blacks are less challenging than some blue runs at many resorts in...

Pros: Its a great value, ideal for beginners and intermediates due to easy terrain
Cons: There are a limited amount of slopes, as well as few truly difficult slopes

Hidden Valley is a wonderful place for beginner and intermediate skiers. It offers green circle, blue square, and black diamond level slopes. I found that most of the blue square slopes are relatively easy. With 25 different slopes, it is big enough...

Pros: Great place to bring the family
Cons: not as much challenging terrain as I would like

Hidden Valley is a great place to go for a weekend getaway. As a parent I know that this is a great place to take your family with children. It is especially good for children or adults to learn to ski. They have great instructors and and the lessons are...

Pros: Price
Cons: lack of terrain

Hidden Valley is a nice small resort. My family lives less than 2 hours away from the resort and we got a nice deal on season passes. $200 dollars each. That brings up the best thing about Hidden Valley, its prices. The resort offers very reasonable...

Pros: Good stuff for everyone!
Cons: The wind gets goin' pretty good up there...

I get to go here every single year. I have been to other local ones but this one is my favorite. It has some very easy slopes like "continental" and harder ones like "Shotgun" at least that's what it used to be called. Then...

Pros: I could care less
Cons: thanks for showing me

Well, I guess I should start off by saying that all parents should consider the risks of their child before sending them to this resort. Or at least that's what they told my parents after I hit one of their fences and lost some of my organs. Over twenty...

Pros: Better family environment type setting
Cons: Dining could use a little more variety

Since, my grandmother passed away, the entire remaining family has decided to take an annual vacation for Christmas, as a way to keep us all in touch, and together as a family. This past Christmas (Christmas 2000) we went to Hidden Valley. I am not much...

Pros: Nice lodge and decent snowmaking
Cons: Not challenging

Hidden Valley has a nice resort modeled after a ski village. One major downfall of Hidden Valley is that the slopes are not at all challenging. With no hard slopes I quickly lost interest and spent the rest of the day doing anything that I found mildly...

Pros: Good Skiing for all levels of experience
Cons: Sometimes can be expensive but not more than any other resort

When I went to the Hidden Valley Ski Resort I had a great time. They have good snow usually and it is good for the whole family. The have steep fast slopes for more experienced skiers and snowboarders. They have intermediate slopes for intermediate...

Pros: Nice scenery..
Cons: everything but the scenery

Two years ago I was involved with an event that took place at this resort. In the beginning, negotiations were fairly smooth and the staff seems excited about hosting the event at this facility. That was very soon to change.

The event was a...

Pros: Great Staff, for any level skiers
Cons: Expensive food, rental skis aren't anything great

Last year was my first time ever to ski. I went to Hidden Valley during a five week program and it was great. The staff was nice, and the slopes were great for beginners. This being my second year on the slopes, I enjoyed it even more. There is a...
