i work in midtown, but ill ideally be moving to astoria in september. i was thinkin maybe takin njtransit, metronorth or lirr to less populated areas to build jumps, or maybe avoiding the cops and buildin jumps in some of the parks, but there's obviously no shortage of urban within the subway lines.. but i dont just wanna fuck my skis up, im on the lookout for some elevation

weve scoped a bunch of good rails in the city, cops are gonna be all-up-ons but whatever.

we've got an NYC to mount snow cult, if you were thinkin about taking some trips this winter you should come with us to mount snow

I work in Midtown and live in queens now. unless you have a car, going anywhere that is less populated and accessable by any of those train line will be hard to get around.
the problem with accessing the subway lines is, well there really is no access. there all underground. you need to know where you are going down there. there are a few elevated lines in the Bronx and Queens but thats about it. plus as Blong said the NYPD will be up your ass. you can maybe get some time in manhattan on a weekend in a park but the outer boroughs will probably be your best bet. astoria park is huge and has a few places you can probably get some shots. a banshee bungee would def help!

yea but a lot of skate parks have other features and stuff that would be fun to hit with skis.
