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!

SonOfAnderHoliday keeping the parks open til April is as realistic as Orlando getting a blizzard in June haha. This winter has been awful, nobody around here will be open in April sadly. Unless they move all their snow to one trail.


Don't be so sure.

I heard a rumor about HV taking over KB sounds kinda crazy but holiday has so much money that I can kinda see it happening. Anyone else here this? I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Not happening, KB posted a pic to insta explaining everything I think. Anyways this will probably be the last weekend for fiddlers at holiday.

Yeah as much as I hate to say it, fiddlers is in bad shape... No speed unless you salt a shitload, slushy lips and melted out rails, and bad coverage in spots. Most other areas are shit too, I'll bet that all they'll have open next weekend is chute and yodeler areas.

For anyone who's going to holiday valley, buy a bag of rock salt for fiddlers if you want any speed whatsoever. Without it, fiddlers is pretty much worthless haha

Theoretically speaking, if there was a "Pleasure" (Level 1) screening in Buffalo, would any of you guys be down to attend?

We're seeing what we can do for Pleasure!

Also, yes!! The date isn't confirmed yet, but we're looking at mid-late October. I will let you guys know as soon as we're certain. We're trying to work with Peek'n Peak to use their rails for it so hopefully the set up is better than years past!

Update!!!

So Peek'n Peak is sponsoring the event this year and bringing in TONS of good features. The plan is to have 3-4 drop ins and more rails than last year (between 5 and 6 I believe). A box, 2-3 tubes and a flat bar or two and maybe a corrugated.

It's going to be Oct. 21st at UB North time is TBD(probably around 4 or 5), same place it's been before. We're really excited for this year and hope we see you guys there!!

We'll also have tons of prizes from Saga and local shops. We hope to have a prize pack for 1st, 2nd, 3rd for both skiers and snowboarders!

Invite your homies from all over. It's gonna be great and the more people who come out the better it will be!!

1. Can we take a minute to process the fact that holiday is charging $50 for opening day...

2. The new park guy at KB seems super cool and really wants to turn things around. Pretty stoked on that.

3. Holiday is salty about people setting stuff up and told us today it wasnt allowed to anymore. So that was sad.

$50 for opening day is a straight up crime, especially when they probably won't have any type of park

Yeah putting those tubes back where they're supposed to go is like a huge deal for holiday valley becuase if they aren't put back they can be covered by the snowmakers or run over by the groomer or something. We talked to someone from the mountain crew about this last year

Some resorts don't even let people on the hill to begin with since its private property. I don't blame them for not letting you use them if the tubes aren't put back. I bet they would let you use your own pvc rails since you own them and wouldn't want to leave them there.

Hopefully they turn things around this year! Last season KB's park was really.... Sad.. The stairset was burried to the point where it was just two rails pretty close to eachother. The jumps were ice and full of ruts

I remember coming to KB a few years ago and their park was top of the line. They had so many features set up. It was all really well groomed and clean

It's like 2 hours from my parents house to Bristol so I'm gonna say it's about the same from Bristol here?

I think next weekend when they open, if it snows like they say it will, it'll be worth it for sure.
