:''For the ski resort in New Jersey, see Hidden Valley (New Jersey).'' Hidden Valley Ski Area is a ski resort in the St. Louis, Missouri suburb of Wildwood, Missouri. Tim Boyd bought the Wildwood Golf Course for $250,000 in 1977. In 1982 he converted the hills to a ski resort while maintaining the golf course. The resort would be the first of several resorts throughout the Midwest and Northeast United States he developed or acquired through his company Peak Resorts.〔(Boyd's ski resort revenue climbs to $85 million - St. Louis Business Journal - February 23, 2007 )〕 The resort is in the bluffs above the Meramec River. The area is an upscale St. Louis suburb and the resort is Boyd's least profitable. In 2008 Boyd threatened to close the resort after Wildwood officials balked at his plans to create a snow tubing area (which is now in operation) and add an additional 250 parking spaces. Hundreds of supporters were to attend Wildwood town meetings in support of him.〔"Hidden Valley opens Saturday - St. Louis Business Journal:." St. Louis Business Journal. December 19, 2008. HighBeam Research. (February 3, 2009). http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1S1-12023420081215007601.html〕 Boyd ultimately entered an agreement to place the ski resort in a conservation easement in exchange for permission to build 80 homes on the golf property (which he has closed).〔"Hidden Valley saved - St. Louis Business Journal:." St. Louis Business Journal.October 22, 2008. HighBeam Research. (February 3, 2009). http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1S1-12023420081020004401.html〕 At the beginning of the 2012-2013 season, Hidden Valley opened two additional runs on an adjacent hill. They dubbed this new area "West Mountain". With this expansion, one additional chair lift was added to allow access to these runs. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hidden Valley Ski Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
