Hyland is the Vail of Minnesota

Look out Afton Alps, you've got big competition! Boasting a whopping 175ft vertical, 3 chairlifts, more ice than Antarctica, and the only shuttle access parking lot in the Twin Cities area. Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area has decided to yet again establish their dominance as the premiere ski and snowboard destination of the midwest with the addition of their higher ticket prices and especially new Pay Parking lot.

I believe that it is truly a revolution in the midwest skiing scene to be able to pay for unnecessary services to feel like you took a trip out west without having to take time off of work take a trip out west or risking your life on those darn black diamonds that your kids accidentally ski down

But if you want my honest opinion, the new chalet smells like a hospital and this is the epitome of bullshit. I feel like the management at Hyland doesn't care one bit about their dedicated riders. They just want to suck money off of families that don't know any better. I'm taking myself and money to Elm Creek.
