Who here skis Western New York. Specifically Kissing Brdige, Holiday Valley, and Peek'n'Peak.

Just curious to see who all there is on NS that rides locally.

I personally usually am at Kissing Bridge. Live 10 minutes from the parking lot. Close and cheap is the key.

I'll try to hook you up to both cults.

HV has better all-around skiing, KB generally speaking has a better park.

Haha, I wish I was lincoln Looping. That was Moses.

I had the '07 invaders for the last few weeks of the season. Most of the season I was on the green Skogen Pros with the yellow bases.

Doing mostly the jump-line with mainly 3s and fucking up my shoulder doing a 5.

You should make a couple of trips down to Bristol if your gonna be in Brockport.  (Brock U is Brockport right?  I'm not "down" with the college lingo.)

If so, I'll meet up with ya. KB can be entertaining. just go in with a positive attitude and make the most of it.

True, but there will be a railjam at Kissing Bridge for sure on November 10th during their open house. I think they still want to have a 2nd during october somewhere.

The one at UB got nixed due to UBand the insurance there not agreeing.

Thanks to substance, who found a link for me, I have been able to link anyone who said they ski KB to the KB cult.

As for rails in OP, I cannot think of any off-hand, I saw what could be an entertaining down rail in at a church in Elma though. Saw it from a distance. The rail was red, I'll check it out better sometime soon, not sure how high the bust factor would be though. It's just off the 400 at the corner of Jamison and Bowen.

yea, rails in OP isn't the best of ideas anyways. you can look around but the cops aren't that nice to anyone. I'm at UB too, OP native. Skiing KB since 6th grade, Holiday a few times, same with Holimont. With Schuss I'll be following them to Pknpk too.

Haha, Yeah. Orchard Park police are quite strict. Brutal traffic cops too.

I haven't seen anything in OP though anyways.

There's on on the ontario side that was in Freeze, leads down towards the falls from the light-tower area.

I think the shot was Philou sliding it. Me and Tyler scoped it last fall, but it seemed VERY high risk, with high bushes on each side and the rail dumps you right at the edge of the street.
