    The "black diamond"
    Enzo I.

    Extremely disappointing - it's basically a sledding hill they are calling a ski resort. Cost a lot more for a night lift ticket there than an actual resort, and you'll spend most of your time waiting behind a large group of kids that got dropped off by their parents. Probably great for teens to hang out, but if you're looking for skiing you definitely won't get your money's worth.

    Boston Mills & Brandywine ski areas sit in the same state park but are five miles apart and not connected. Both are on the Epic pass aka Vail Resorts. Fortunately, they both seem to have kept their local mountain feel. Boston Mills is open 10-9pm and has some nice runs with a couple of steep runs and a few bumps to play in. BM has a nice lodge with the option of lockers and cubbies for your ski bags. Typical cafeteria and a fun bar upstairs. BM has a weekly ski school for the under 5 kids and ladies ski lessons on Tuesdays. Brandywine is a little smaller but offers a variety of terrain. During the week it is only open 3:30-9pm. The cafeteria & bar are upstairs. The area seems very popular with local school ski clubs. They come by the bus load. Needless to say by 5:30pm, we were the oldest people on the mountain. Ah, the night skiing memories of my youth. Bad choices leading to spectacular crashes. All the staff at both resorts were very friendly and helpful. The slopes nicely groomed and fun to get a ski day in. Hopefully, Vail doesn't screw up the local vibe and make it to expensive.

    Prices are ok for a ski resort. They removed locks from the lockers but have signs everywhere to lock up your valuables. Very silly.

    3 hour wait for equipment.

    Slow operations, long lift lines, and longer rental equipment lines. No terrain park when there was enough snow to put it together. Vail resorts is doing a terrible job.

    I know a lot of people have an issue with this resort due to the limited amount of runs. As someone who learned to ski in Colorado I truly get it. However, we are in Ohio and cant magically make our mountains larger. For what they have I think they do a great job. Easy to park, prices are reasonable, and not too crowded. Now that they are part of Vail Resorts starting this season and part of the Epic Pass I only expect it to get better. Staff is very friendly and a fun place to go for a few hours.

    Our favorite nearby ski/snowboarding place. Plenty of hills, great service! It's a fun place to hang out - especially if you're with a group!

    I had a great time here. It was my first time skiing. My instructor, Taggart, was really patient and helpful. He had me down an intermediate hill by the end of the day. I look forward to going back.

    I was unable to stay long there and I also wasn't able to participate in some of the things that they offered like skiing so the only thing I can give you a reference about is their end or lodges it was very crowded and there were a lot of children even around 9 and 10 at night people seem to have been enjoying themselves so I'm assuming that it is a great place for families they also have equipment that you're able to rent so that you can participate in the activities they have there if you don't have your own I'm not telling anyone to shy away from it I think that everyone should experience it on their own terms and I will go back to see if my first experience was just not as pleasant because of the limited time in capability of doing the activities that I had.

    The lodge is very old school and charming, with the only criticism being that bigger chairs are needed for the tables.

That being said here's my take on some of the issues and why I'm giving it 2 Stars. One lift ticket prices are not representative of value. It's around $40 for a lift ticket where the chair lifts that once had safety bars on them have been removed for some unexplainable reason. That nearly all of the lifts or slowed down to a snail's pace. I can appreciate that it's a small ski area but a fast lift might increase the enjoyability of a small hill. Two we just went through a pretty disastrous warm spell which took away most of the base of this area however if given the opportunity they should be running this snowmakers at all times regardless if customers are there or not. Ohio weather is finicky and you should make snow while you have the opportunity to. For the amount of cold days and nights that we've had there was way too much Brown here. Three. The entire place is run by high schoolers. The kitchen area had for employees that were to prepare food for the school lunches styleline and the three males were busy flirting with the one female who is there. Me while it's 11:30 and there's no hot food on the line for the 13 people of mine who wanted to eat. There was no management no oversight nobody help them ramp for an impending lunch hour. Granted comparing this to the Alpine Valley of my youth where they were authority figures and managers everywhere helping the keep skiers in line and the business running smoothly. That coupled with it no longer opens in the morning and closes late at night they have very limited hours of operation. While I realize and appreciate that this is a seasonal business and they must make money while they can, it seems like there are many sailors and no Captain.

My biggest complaint is their snowmaking and grooming, which pales in comparison to their neighbors at snowtrails. Even with the addition of a massive fleet of TechnoAlpin fan guns this year, there was still sparse coverage on 2 of their main hills (off the double chair) after plenty of cold temp days. The groupon deals, and the lack of the crowds right now are both reasons why I would give them 4 stars. The staff was also generally happy, seemed like a "family run" kind of place. The potential lies in the terrain. They have a good glade run cut, and a natural snow trail that runs along a narrow ridge that is fun. If they cut more trails into the trees they would have a lot of variety fast. Watch out for icy sidewalks and parking lots for now.

New equipment is great but the food is horrible and only one lift open on Christmas break. Under new ownership and breaking ground for a ton of timeshares to be built in the next year I could only expect for this place to give you something fun to do in the middle of what the heck is there to do in Ohio! However, this is a great place to learn and practice. Keep an eye on Groupon to see about deals with this place and it may be worth the ride for you.

We figure it's a great way to bring family together (my family is mostly in California) and have the celebration we always wanted. I knew I didn't want a boring wedding hall so we began searching for different types of venues (i.e. barns, restaurants, vineyards, etc.) for about two weeks until one night I just so happened to stumble upon Hines Hill campus via Google images. I fell in love with the pictures and two weeks ago Friday, my husband and I took the long, steep, winding trek out to see the property which is out in the STICKS, woo-hoo! I was blown away at how perfect it was - and this is the Winter (well, technically it's Spring but this is Cleveland and still feels like December some days). Even though the trees were bare, the grass was an ugly hay yellow color and the sky a depressing gray, it didn't distract from the beauty of the buildings, especially my favorite location - the barn! Brittany, the event coordinator was extremely nice and greeted us outside. She showed us all three building starting with the Hines Hill conference center. She was very knowledge about the buildings and gave us some short and interesting historical facts regarding them. It had a kitchen, bathroom and a roundtable downstairs. Upstairs, enough space for 40 people. It's cozy and reminded me of a ski lodge. She explained that the guys usually get dressed in this building. We moved on to the quaint and awesome looking stone cottage which holds 12 people and is usually used for ladies to get ready in. Loved it! It too had a full kitchen (mimosas anyone!?). In between the cottage and bar, there is a fire pit where you can sit around and chill (they provide lawn chairs). On to my favorite spot because that's where the reception is going to go DOWNNN - the barn! It's a nice size but not huge. If you're looking for huge, Happy Days Lodge is more your speed. The barn holds 80 (all sitting room). It's pretty open (2 large doors) and since it's not a historical building, we can decorate how we please. A few facts (if you're reading this in 2015 and beyond, the prices/facts may have changed): -even if you're only using the barn, you will have access to all three buildings for your allotted time -the Hines Hill campus is for a smaller crowd where the the Happy Days Lodge and their buildings are for bigger parties. They are both affordable with the Hines Hill campus being the most affordable -deposit is 30% (nonrefundable) and the rest is due 4 weeks before your wedding. They accept check and credit cards -using the barn at the Hines Hill campus means you have to rent all your tables, chairs, linen, etc. from an outside company. Not a huge expense if you're having a small group. If you're having 80, you're costs will rack up quick! You can use the the conference room - tables/chairs included (limited space - 40 max sitting) -if you want booze, you must pay a $150 service charge. We will gladly pay it because a dry wedding... *GUFFAW* You also bring in your own booze and you need to hire a bartender -you also must use one of their five caterers which I was bummed out about at first until I viewed each caterer. 2 out of the 5 that were listed were a perfect fit for our reception (BBQ) and are pretty affordable. Again, the more people you have = more $$$ you pay. I never understood why people invite 150+ people. My 2nd cousins don't need to be present for such a personal day, especially if I have to feed you, booze you up, pay for your entertainment, and buy you a little gift! Eh, that's just us though. Let me get off my soap box about that! -there are discounts for having your wedding on a Friday and Sunday or off season but the discounts only apply for the Happy Days Lodge I must say again how helpful Brittany was and how fast she was to answering questions and setting up a time to see the property. She also gave me a 9 page .pdf of vendors, nearby hotels, etc. I can come as many times as I need to see the property between now and our event. I can tell that she will be awesome to work with. Patricia, who sent over the contract, was also quick to answer any questions I had in a very timely manner. If you're looking to have a rustic or outdoorsy type wedding, like being secluded, surrounded by a beautiful national park and dealing with a professional friendly staff - you may want to check this location out!
