	Mad River Mountain 1000 Snow Valley Road Zanesfield, OH 43360-9774 Phone: (800) 231-SNOW http://www.skimadriver.com	Here in Cincinnati, we tend to think of Indiana's Perfect North Slopes for a day of skiing. But if you're looking for some variety and don't mind some extra travel time, Ohio has some slopes of its own to offer. Mad River Mountain in Zanesfield, Ohio (not to be confused with Zanesville, on the other side of the state) is about two hours north of Cincinnati. Mad River is reasonable for a day trip - unlike other Ohio slopes, whose locations near Mansfield and Cleveland necessitate a weekend jaunt. Mad River Mountain recently added new trails, expanded its rental building, enlarged the beginners slope, increased snowmaking capacity and made a major investment in snow grooming equipment. The Base Lodge at Mad River Mountain offers a wide variety of delicious food and drink served from the cafeteria, The Lift Line Lounge and The Loft. Mad River Mountain also offers "Midnight Madness" all-night ski parties that take place each Friday and Saturday between 10:30 p.m. and 3 a.m.
