Ski hills beyond Ohio

Ohio has four ski areas. Some hills in neighboring states are closer to an Ohio city than the nearest Ohio hill. This page covers the ones nearest Ohio whose own websites we could read.

No snow report here. We don’t know what any hill is doing today, and nothing on this page tells you whether to drive. Hours, lifts, lanes and snow are the operator’s to report: follow the link to its own page first. Why we work this way.

How far is each from Ohio’s cities?

Choose a column heading to sort by it.

Miles are straight lines between two points, worked out from their coordinates. They are not road miles and not drive times; roads are longer, and a lake or a river can make them much longer. Which points, and where they come from.

How was this list chosen, and what is missing?

We started from the hills an Ohio city could plausibly reach and kept the ones whose official website answered a plain, honestly labelled request, plus Peek’n Peak, which is among the nearer out-of-state hills to Cleveland and Youngstown by our straight-line figures and can be described from two association pages. It is not every hill in these states. The association lists quoted on the kids programs page name many more areas in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York.

Two sites refused our reader outright, Peek’n Peak’s and Snowshoe Mountain’s in West Virginia, and we did not try to get around either. Snowshoe is left off because we have nothing official to quote. The Vail Resorts hills are here with their statistics and directions pages only. Where we tried a ticket or tubing page of theirs, a waiting room answered; the pages we tried are listed on the about page.

We found no lift-served ski area in Kentucky on the pages we read, and didn’t search further.
