This ski area may be tiny and run by a county park, but it is just outside of Pittsburgh making it a great afternoon trip for people in the area. Lift tickets are inexpensive ($9 weekdays and $13 weekends), making it easy to spend a few lazy Saturday hours when you don't have time for the drive to a larger ski resort. The park offers nine runs including moguls, halfpipe, Nastar timing runs with gates, jumps and night skiing.
