Compact and fun
Some towns have parks, some have playgrounds and ballfields, and others have community centers and concert halls. Grangeville, Idaho has a city-run ski hill. Snowhaven sits above the town in a gentle bowl and operates mostly on weekend days and nights and some holidays. Prices are dirt cheap ($17 for an all day adult ticket) and the area is compact and fun. Don’t come here looking for the gnar, but do come looking for a fun friendly time.
