My response:
. . . and, I'd go one step further to decrease your risk of liability. In addition to withdrawing permission, you really should erect and post "No Trespassing" signs - - this, because, despite your withdrawal of permission, you know that your hill presents what is termed "an attractive nuisance"; i.e., because it snows, and because it's there and accessible, you know that it will attract kids to the hill anyway.
With the signs, they are on notice, if they get hurt, that they should not have been there in the first place. An ounce of "signage" is worth a pound of "litigation prevention".
