west mountain or hill

Since ski season is closing in on us, i dcedided ill review the mountain closest to skidmore to how what it has to offer.  Which isnt much, it is basically the size of a hill with only a handful of trails going down.  all the lifts are slow doubles which isnt suprising since a high speed chair would get you up the mountain in like 10 seconds. 
the ski team uses this mountain to practice but they will race at gore mountain this winter which willl hopfeully lead to better longer races.
the one thing west does offer is that it is only a 30 minutes drive from skidmore on I-87 north.  It is also pretty cheap and they charge in hours not in dayys of skiing so it is possible to get out of class and decide to go skiing and within a hour be on  the slopes for not too bad of a price.
Although est might be the farthest thing from a skiers paradise, it is close and cheap which is why it is appeasing the skidmore student population.
