The Mountain
Hidden Valley's summit elevation is 1,435 feet (437 m) above sea level and its base is at 815 feet (248 m), yielding a vertical drop of 620 feet (189 m). The resort has 15 trails - 25% beginner, 30% intermediate, and 45% advanced. The longest trail is Browse Along at three quarters of a mile (1.2 km). There are a total of four lifts: three chairlifts (one triple, 2 doubles) and a surface lift, and the uphill capacity is 3,500 per hour. In 2007 the resort, after years of struggling to compete with the nearby and much larger Mountain Creek, declared bankruptcy and was sold at a sheriff's auction. The new owners are keeping it open.

Famous quotes containing the word mountain:
“A mountain chain determines many things for the statesman and philosopher. The improvements of civilization rather creep along its sides than cross its summit. How often is it a barrier to prejudice and fanaticism!”

“Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.”
