With a 500 foot altitude difference it's not the highest hill there is, but all the other perfect features of Giants Ridge compensate for it. There are 6 good ski lifts here, and they will get you up the slope effectively. Giants Ridge has a much lower than average proportion of advanced and expert ski trails and a much higher than average fraction of green and blue ski slopes. There's 202 acres of |
