Maple Ridge has been teaching kids to ski for decades -- it does not pretend to be a "full service ski area". It has about a 300 (?) foot vertical drop--which is great for kids who are new to skiing. It has great child-oriented instructors, who really care about providing good ski instruction and making sure the kids have fun... More

My experience with this ski/snowboard venue is through my son. I spent time there watching him on many days. It isn't the big monster ski resorts that exist here. It is a wonderful place for people who love to ski or snowboard without huge crowds. Not a place you would travel a great distance to go to but if you're... More

If you only want to travel 5 min's from Rotterdam, then this is the place for you. They have bunny trail type hills, good for 1st timers and children.

Small family operated business; therefore if thinking of travelling for a vacation, it would be great for the novice. However, I wouldn't suggest traveling here for a ski vacation if you are very good, because the slopes/runs and variety of activities are limited and the ski area is relatively small.
