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.

sorry for the double post....

but again, there's one downtown somewhere that Liam Downey had a bitch getting on New Year's Eve. They had that in Shanghai Six, and in the extras too. It showed the fireworks going off in the background and stuff, pretty sick.

There's a 60fter in Springville, somebody should do it.  You will need a tow.

Niagara Falls has some urban, convention center before it was a casino has been in some films.  Have you guys seen Optimistic (absinth film)?  So much of Mikey Leblanc's urban segment is in Buffalo, a lot of Delaware park, the art museum, and this spot off the 33, also were lifestyles from the falls, and I'm pretty sure that ice they are on is on Lake Erie.. 

Some friends of mine from Utah did some urban scouting last Christmas when I was home in the area.  There was a lack of snow... but we spent all night driving around Buffalo and the southern tier.  Most of the stuff we found was around Ellicottville.  We found a few that'd be sick, just lacked the snow.  I can think of a couple large stairs, a double bridge, and a super sexy stairway in one of the condos at Holimont.  With the right lighting, I swear it could make a sexy cover shot.  If anyone is interested in hitting anything, I'll be home around Christmas, and would be stoked to meet up with some people and shoot this rail at Holimont.  Of course there's always the Ellicottville school, but not that interesting imo, but low bust.  It's fun to find rails that are unique and not already "played" like just about everything in SLC.

I can't do rails, but I'd be more than happy to lend a hand in the building process if anyone wants to tackle this.

as long as these rails don't have 18 kinks and aren't at a 45 degree angle, I'll probably attempt them. I'm down for scouting, and slaying.

the rail that leads into the pond is real easy to do, there is a big hill in front of it.  Just duck a few branches, dodge a few trunks and you will be set.  There is also the buildings deck that you could jump off, but  i think  they are  doing construction on it. 
There are some shots  in the beg and end  of this edit which show the spots.

It was interesting that when i went to do these the set ups had allready been built and there was a van parked in front of the quad kink preventingn ppl from sliding it.

there are some more spots in the park, but id love to hear from that guy who was scoping rails off the 33 and down at holimont

Jesus just posted after Moses.

I hope that it wasn't a joke by someone, because if this Jesusskis character is legit, the irony might be too great for the universe to handle without imploding.
