i just posted this in the thread in ski-gabber, but its uber legit. they had 5 rails and this little jumpish thing. the skiing itself was actually pretty good. its a hill of snowflex and they have a tube that blows snow onto it, so you get a mix of both. definitely worth your $13

That looks real legit. I'm stoked, I'll be rolling up to Niagara at the end of the month to get some Lasik done, guess I'll be bringing my sticks along too.

Yea, it's pretty sick. I was there tonight for the Forum video premier/ cheap skiing day. They've got a bunch of sick stuff open, features are well maintained and enough to get you stoked for skiing. Only thing is, the speed is pretty slow on the carpet, and it takes some getting used to. But for sure a great place to hang out before the season starts. You can get some serious progression going on for just 13 bucks a day/ 100 for a seasons.

kinda relates to the thread.. Was there last night for the forum premier and forgot to pick up a card from the photographer that was there, not the person taking photos for snowpark but robby's dad (robby being the little snowboarder that kills it) if anyone knows his website or can give me a last name to help me find it, that would be sweet

no you have to pay extra it comes out to like 20$ for skiing skating and tubing, but just skiing alone is like 14 i think, at the premier they basically let us run the place so it was cool and only 10$

I don't know if it's always like that or not, but the guy asked me if I paid the 13 dollars for the pass, I said I paid the 10.80 for the Schuss night, and he said same thing, and let me ride the tubes. So maybe you only need to buy the 13 dollar ticket... idk, you've got to call to find out.

im officially the proud owner of a niagara snowpark season pass.

its such a sick deal heres the deal with it... its $100 to ski an entire year, (go 8 times and it pays for itself) and you get to tube as well. best deal going. im not sure but i think the deal is only this good cause they just opened but whatever.

sorry if that sounds like an ad but its really legit hahaha

I like how i think those Niagara sunsets look epic from my dorm. They clearly look better from SnowPark. Gotta get my ass down there.

senor ian,

I get back into Buffalo the end of the month.  here are a few questions

would you say the seaon pass and the gas to get there is a wise investment?

Can you drive?

Season Pass is a good deal in my opinion. It pays for itself if you go 8 times. Driving up a few times during the summer even when i live 2 hours away just for a Sess isn't outlandish to me.

monsieur tim

the season pass is a wise investment, if you will be able to get there 8 times. as has been said, thats how many times one must go in order for the pass to pay for itself.

its a long drive, but not much more than a trip to holiday, so its your call.

as for me, i can drive there starting tomorrow. as of tuesday i can drive anytime before 9. yay!
