I'm in the area. Going to be around Jiminy and Windham this year when I'm home from school.
What I'm really interested in though is hitting some urban. Need a crew to do so. Anyone else interested?

im from the ALB area, when im not at school in buffalo jimminy peaks park sucks, ive ridden there my whole life, keep in mind they strive to be a family resort, go to MT Snow, me and my buddies would definitely be down to assault some area urbans though

Mt Snow would be your best bet IMO.

Mount snow if you're looking for park, Gore if you're looking for trees/steeps

From Alb it takes an hour and 30   sometimes 20 if your moving.  the best place to go if your willing to drive a little while.  West is good for a short trip, jimminy is good for night and has a decent park
