“formerly known as the Payette Lakes Ski Area”

The Little Ski Hill is a modest ski area in the western United States, located in west central Idaho, two miles (3 km) west of McCall. Adjacent to Highway 55, immediately west of the county line in Adams County, it was formerly known as the "Payette Lakes Ski Area." Built in 1937 as a winter diversion for local forest workers, the Little Ski Hill has served the region's youth and skiing community for over 75 years. The small but action-packed facility has an alpine hill served by a T-bar surface lift, providing 405 vertical feet (123 m) of terrain on the only lighted ski area in the vicinity. It has a summit elevation of 5,600 feet (1,707 m) above sea level; the slopes face north and west. The ski area also has 18.6 miles (30 km) of groomed cross-country ski trails and a biathlon range. Ski legend and 50-year McCall resident Corey Engen taught at the hill for years before developing the nearby Brundage Mountain in 1961. The area formerly had a 50-60 meter Nordic ski jump on its lower north slope, near the bend in the highway. The aging jump was destroyed by a microburst wind in the 1990s. A 25-30 meter Nordic ski jump is still in use.
