How does the definition of a hill differ? We have a lot of hills in Western PA and they are just, you know, hills. Some steeper or longer than others.

The angle of the hill. Relatively gentle rises are often referred to as hills here. Whereas no one I know out in western PA would count the same rise as a hill.

If you can’t sled down it, and pick up some good speed, it’s not a hill.

Exactly. Not here, though.
