Chestnut Mountain   I learned to ski at Chestnut Mountain, it's really good to go and learn at a local place like this before you go to the Rockies, so you don't waste time on the bunny slope over there. Says Lisa Taylor. The 4 feet of snow that falls here per winter is relatively okay for a ski resort like this one. This is a normal size ski resort having a vertical drop that's more or less average if compared to other mid west ski resorts. Chestnut Mountain has the     most sizeable elevation difference for 77 miles. With a 475 foot elevation difference it's not the tallest hill there is, but Chestnut Mountain compensates for it by other means. The 4 lifts here will get you up the mountain efficiently. This ski resort has 139 acres of skiable area, and it's all in good condition. The skiing and the snowboarding in this region is loads of fun all winter long. This ski area has a much lower than average part of black and red ski trails and a much higher than average fraction of easy slopes. The annual snowfall is lighter than average at this ski area.
