ski hill

Mountain for skiing

A ski hill is a slope or small mountain used for downhill skiing and snowboarding.

The term often refers to the entire facility—lifts, runs, lodge, and surrounding terrain—rather than just the hill itself: We're heading to the ski hill this weekend.

In regions without true mountains, ski hill describes modest slopes that serve recreational skiers.
