Basically I am from the area and frequent both hills. This thread is about overall stoke for the entire season, park updates, and mountain reports (conditions).

I just heard holiday is trying to open up next week and I am pumped!

Yeah, i'm really wanting to go with all this snow as well but i think with it being the last week of classes it's quite the challenge.

The past few years, opening day at HV has been one of the best days of the season. I suggest you make time

protection from the grass in low coverage areas? c'mon this isnt out west where theres legit reasons trails are closed.

only real danger at hv is hitting snow making lines they leave out unmarked

I like to think that the closed signs are to keep the pow fresh just for me...

Gonna try to go tomorrow or Saturday, depending if I get any sleep tonight for an exam tomorrow. Do they have any rails/ect. set up yet on the open trails? If so, I'll be the guy falling on his ass most of the time. Lets shred!

Rail park wasn't that bad, considering "early season" but of course it was better than NO rail park. Also they had a crew out there maintaining each obstacle about every 2-3 hours.

Gonna be at HV on Friday and if the weather is alright I'm hoping to do some filming if anyone is down? My vimeo page is in my profile if anyone is interested. Mostly rollerblading stuff because thats what I normally do, but I'm hoping to chop up a few skiing edits this season.
