Buck Hill is small but loaded with fun. The conveyor belt is perfect for beginners and there is a large variety of types of terrain available which are suitable for all types of riders. The terrain parks and half pipe are always super fun!

Several pros and cons to buck hill. The man made snow is amazing but the kids that ride there are pretty wilds. The main jump line is pretty rad and the main black diamond groomer on the face is very ridable. However, the chalet is a mess since kids trash it and such. Another con would be the magic carpet and how slow it is. The tow ropes for both the main and the little jibber terrain parks are great and I would rather use those than the lifts since they are much faster.
