Holiday Valley 09-10

JEA It looks like the Valley will begin making snow tonight as the temps drop into the thirties. Finally, all this rain and warm temps gave us a wait, but they plan on opening next weekend on the 10th. Who will be there? So stoked to ride some hill, Snowpark Niagara has been holding it down for the pre-season. Now its time to really get the shred on!!

"We're ready to start making snow tonight, as long as the forecasted temperatures come true. Let's hope the lake effect bands park on top of Holiday Valley! Possible opening on Thursday, Dec. 10...stay tuned for more info.

Cold air across Lake Erie will set up moderately favorable conditions for lake effect snow showers - especially during the nighttime hours. Winds will be varying a bit, so even when heavier bands do set up, we're not likely to be under them all the time. Even so, upwards of 6-10" is possible higher up by the weekend, with additional snowshowers possible Saturday and Sunday. Good snowmaking temperatures at night for the next week.

Anyone out at Holiday this afternoon have a report on conditions... looking more for soft snow and bumps than rails.  Lame I know but I can stay in Ohio and ski the same preseason park features.


-Thanks

I was made the drive up there today from ohio. We;; worth it despite only Mardi Gras and Yodeler lifts were open and maybe 4 runs total were open to the public. Matter of just skipping those signs and volunteer patrol to hit all the other runs which are packed with pow. I was boot deep for most of the day, so i guess you could say it was fun

yeah the place is covered in snow although i would say they probably only had about 10" of fresh, still snowing there now, snow guns are going to fire all night, they need to put some rails in, 4 trails gets mad boring

For the 42/78 they have a flat box, barrel tap, dfd and fd rails, and an urban down rail. It is really nice. The wood park pretty much sucks though.

Have you stalled/taped the last feature bc i haven't seen anyone try and i feel like im not going to clear it which results in me eating wood.
