My best memory was the kicker just off wall street. You'd have to hike up minimally for a couple minutes from the Canadian chair and was just out of bounds but was always there and amazing.
The only negatives I can remember were the windy days coupled with old rickety chair lifts. Still can't believe it's almost been 20 years since the last time it was open.

I was young when Fortress was open but the wind was definitely something that I remember at that hill. It was fun but the wind made for many miserable days.
