Ski-Charlie Ski Resort in Iowa does not have any mountain ranges or significant mountain aspects, as Iowa is a relatively flat state with no major mountainous terrain. The resort may have man-made hills or slopes for skiing and snowboarding, but they would not be considered true mountains.
An interesting fact about the resort is that it was originally intended for summer use as a golf course, but a tough winter made the owners realize its potential as a ski resort. For beginner skiers, it is recommended to start with the Bunny Hill and work their way up gradually. The best apres ski bar is the Chalet Lounge, which offers a cozy atmosphere and delicious drinks.
