Which ski hill is the best?Afton, Hyland, or Buck Hill?Any others close to the cities?Which has the best terrain park and is least crowded?

Afton Alps. l have not been there in a while, but l used to own that mini-mountain hill thing. It was never too crowded as far l as remember and the slopes were always in pretty good condition. That place is the best. l need to go back.

Afton is nice, and pretty close to St. Paul.
Hyland is where l go, but there are a lot of kids there,
Buck Hill-- never been there.
Trollhaugen is about an hour into Wisconsin, and it is fantastic.
If you want to feel like you're skiing in Aspen, with the same atmosphere and amenities, drive up to Lutsen, MN.

l have seen a blog just recently with all kinds of great snowboarding items like clothing, boots, and gear l also seen free video on there too for skiing and snow boarding it is a must see site just look around it is mixed in all the posts you will see it it is enlarged text for the free videos, and regional conditions
