So I figured there was a fair amount of nsers from the area who will be traveling up to hv/kb. If you are just post up in this thread for the winter. Maybe majority of us can get together and ski.
I know there are a few other threads about hv or kb but just let them die and if you're going post in here!

Ironically enough it's one of the only ones that you don't need to urban on to.

Didn't mean that in a disparaging way, sorry if it came off like that. It's harder for me to urban onto surface level features like that actually.

I was just at kb and their mini park is fun as hell. The big park not so much but I had a fun time.

Its all good due! I find urban on any rail but that one extremely difficult, i'm not great at the whole park thing, well not great compared to most ns'ers.

Most ns ers sit behind a computer and talk big, don't always believe what you see. I've seen you ski and you are definitely better than some of the guys on here.

I guess that comes with any sport or hobby forum site, thanks man it was nice to hear that. I get caught up that it's all about park only and that I'm. It good in the park, but there is way more to skiing then that. I'm happy that I'm a well rounded skier so any park improvement is stellar

Their parks are nice, but they're just so short. They do have a chair dedicated to the main park though, which is nice.

Ya their main park is just stupid now though, they don't really have lips to anything and their jumps aren't lit up on the landings. The mini lark has been stellar all year though so props to them for that.

Of course there will always be park rats who just slay rails and jumps but I like to look at if they can carve switch, carve regular, ski bumps, and powder.

Haha he was joking, it's common for one of the park dudes to go into the main lodge with all the tourists and yell that. It's quite funny.

Ya it's all good and he was throwing cork 7s and the retarded safety patrol thought it was an invert. I threw a backflip on the first jump on the right side of fox and the patrol saw me from the chair. They yanked my pass because they're dicks.

Sweet dude it was crazy lookin, but yeah safety patrollers are dumbasses. It's a bummer I missed Seeing your backflip, I haven't seen that many this year. How long is your pass gone for? I got mine yanked last year for a week going down moon shadow when it was closed. It was simple getting it back the guy just told me a story

I grew up riding there and gote to know the main crew there years ago. Now everyone works there and these guys got free reign this year over snowmaking, features, and cats. They are anywhere from 18-25 years old. HV would NEVER allow this to happen. This is why peeks parks are so damn fun every year. Freedom and creativity

Dude I use to have hope in HV but they fucking dropped the ball this year. It's been so bad all year. When I was at peak early season for the slope style the jumps were perfect and the park layout was awesome.

I've rode in valleys parks once this year. It was so icey and hardpacked I left and havent skied the park since. Don't get me wrong, valley is awesome for overall riding, however people that say that their parks are superior to peeks, especially this year, have a serious warped perception, Two skiers from HV, i won't name names, were hating on peeks parks during that comp. I just LOL'ed because I was just at valley earlier that week and it was a shit show, In other words hows KB looking right now?
