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!

Dude, epic! Thanks for sharing that. Definitely saw Evan in there. Was that night the first night you met him and Reid?

And yeah dude, I remember that kid (presumably timm phillips) doing that 270-step-on type shit like it was yesterday, damn! People were throwing the fuck down in that contest.

Only thing that would've made the vid better was if I saw myself in there somewhere (haha I probably wasn't throwing anything worthy of an edit down).

I can tell you exactly where it was, Twinjibber77 and I went to school (Niagara University) very close to it. It was on First Street, across from the Days Inn. Very close to the Rainbow Bridge. I think the actual Snowpark structure is still there, but I could be wrong. Exact address is here:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Snow-Park-Niagara/57613164716

I feel like I've said this before, but I remember sittng in my dorm room freshman year, knowing that I chose to go to a school not close to much skiing. So when I stumbled across Snowpark online, I was actually in disbelief. Like I actually did not believe that the place was so close to school. I thought I was reading something wrong.

If you're interested in learning more, here's a little Ski The East article about it that I actually just found:
http://www.skitheeast.net/snow-park-niagara-year-round-skiing/

And here's an Andy Parry edit from it too (me and Twinjibber77 at :57 - :59! haha)

Well saturday was the shittiest day I've skied in a while, it rained but it was freezing rain. Not much damage was done though and I'm sure there will be even more snow there the next time you come. Theyre going to blow a ridiculous amount of snow this week considering it will be below 10 on though to friday.

The jumps, bigger features, will be on foxfire. It will mainly be a snow feature run. The rails will pretty much stay over at fiddlers and they're going to add more to it soon.

That's pretty shitty dude. We're supposed to be getting snow in Buffalo until 4pm tomorrow I think.


But I feel ya. The other day I got halfway home from peek n peak and couldn't drive any further on the 90. We ended up staying over night at the Angola rest stop until the snow eased up a bit.

Peek has all of it's parks and full-time airbag open and also added a skier/boarder x downhill race course. I've been skiing peek and HV for years and I honestly think this is the best park WNY has seen maybe ever. Super flowy.

Only negative is jumps. They are built super well but at most the bottom jump line is 5-10feet, then 15-20 feet, then a 30ish footer. Super fun and built well though.

Worth the drive out.

peek n peaks park looks so fun... i wish i lived closer, i would go there over kb or holiday valley any day.



Also, does anyone know if kb plans on putting more features up on twister? They still have so many features that they haven't used (dfd, long lift tower tube, flat down, etc) and there is a ton of room on the right side of the park still. for what its worth, the features that are set up are set up well and are pretty creative, and the jumps are the smoothest jumps I've seen at kb.

The skier without poles, he needs poles. Aside from that I liked it, peak always seems to kill it with their parks.

I've read about how Peek n Peak is pretty legit in this thread, but I wasn't expecting that. That park looks pretty damn dope!

As soon as I opened the vid, I was ready to comment on how it's too long. But it really wasn't that long, considering you had a lot of people to show. I probably would've capped it around 2 minutes though. Didn't need to see all the straight airs/straight rail slides/etc. Legit song, overall an enjoyable edit, good stuff. Love seeing that OG NS sticker at the end!
