We had the opportunity to ski Chestnut Mountain near Galena, Illinois along the bluffs of the Mississippi River and Holy Hill ski areas recently. Both offer a special experience for any skier or rider. Chestnut has a chalet and lodging at the top which is also where you park so your first move is to ski down rather than ride up.
Holy Hill, across the road from the famed shrine, is a private club known as Heiliger Huegel and offers a chalet complete with indoor and out door fireplace at mid-hill. The club was founded in 1935. It was snowing for our night skiing at HH so we had a "powder night.". Both areas offer beautiful views and excellant local skiing.
