You can't make terrain any higher than 510 meters. 255 Meters in the heightmap plus a 2x height multiplier is the tallest point you can define. Anything higher would require a prim surface.

255 Meters is the highest you'll get just using in-world terraforming tools. To get to 510 you have to upload a .raw file to the sim.

If you go to Moen (snowland) on the mainland, head to the North (IIRC) to the top of the Linden Road. There is a piece of land just to the side where you can rez objects.

From there, you can ski (or roll ;)) down the Linden "roads" - they go on for about 4 sims. Bear right if you come to a fork. Best snowboarding I've found :D

Believe it or not, the Weather Channel has a pretty cool ski slope with lift, and there is even a store at the base where you can get free skis and poles. Now, if I can only find a cute instructor. LOL.
