@mwskiernot sure if this qualifies defunct ski hill but early 1900's there used to be a small ski hill in Savage. the location is Hidden Valley Park but not sure what it was previously called... maybe Egan's Resort. 

according to historical articles there were two runs. i've been to the park and seen one of the runs but not sure where the other was located. at the south east side of Hidden Valley is a steep hill. i couldn't say what the vertical drop is but the hill is not that long. it would've been difficult to climb back up. there are houses at top of the hill and no trespassing signs.

the fireplace is still standing with a plaque.
