A nice little ski hill close to home. Very family oriented. With a nice fire place and snack bar inside. Very reasonable priced.
We visited Dry Hill for our family day vacation. This is a super hill for families. They only have 1 chair lift and 1 t-bar, but if your family just wants a reasonable day of skiing/boarding - its great! Try their first-ever and second-ever packages. $35 for rentals, lift ticket + lessons!!
Went a couple years back and will never return. Extremely crowded, overpriced, and cramped. My husband *tried* to teach me how to ski, which was a nightmare because of the high traffic of skiers and snowboarders. No room to just even stand without being ran over. Even if I did learn how to ski after all of that, one hill is your only option. Positive note: the tubing was fun!
Loved the 2 hour snowboard lessons for my kids. Great place to learn to ski/snowboard. Also accepted Canadian at par. Friendly staff and instructors.
First time on skies, would have plowed into everything stationary and everyone not quick enough to move out of my way but for the quick-witted, professional, and patient instructor, Mike. Snack-bar folks and food was wonderful, equipment rental folks were as welcoming as wet socks but knew their business, prices were extremely fair - a great way to hit the gerbil-incline for beginners while not straying too far from Ft Drum. Excellent value for money!
Nice little ski hill - great for new skiiers. Have taken 2 lessons there and have been very impressed with the intructors both times. Even the instructors that are not assigned to you are happy to help out. If you plan to buy food, be prepared and bring cash as the snack bar doesn't take debit or credit.
I have been to Dry Hill many times. It is a very enjoyable ski slope for a day of fun. The prices are average as well as the slopes. Don't expect big mountain style runs, or fancy slope amenities. Definitely not a bad place for some down hill fun.
I don't ski anymore because it hurts to much when I fall, but all three of our kids , spouse and boyfriends really enjoy Dry Hill. To bad this winter was poor on snow, but hey, I am happy because I didn't have to shovel that much!
Hardpack & total ice for the trails. Quite small but still; it's pretty much the only place to ride around here.
Dry Hill is a small local ski hill. Don't expect Breckenridge. Dry Hill is a FANTASTIC place for kids to learn to ski/snowboard.
