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!

Chubz.If the vanboiz want to migrate to peek n peak next year, I will make it worth your while by implementing things you guys want to see in our parks as well as creating quality content for you guys.


Please bring a ski scene to a hill that actually gives a shit about their parks. The end of this year was an exception due to horrible conditions but we tried our best to have a fun, flowy park throughout the season. We're stoked on you guys and dig what you're about.


It seriously sucks having 3 or 4 regular skiers in our park that you can rely on skiing with on a weekly basis. The parks are only gonna get better too.

Seriously think about it


Idk if I saw you all season man. Kept missing ya I guess

I ran into your brother quite a bit this year. I was only up on Wednesday Thursday and fridays this year so i probably did miss you. I don't remember seeing you on the hill either. I wish we could have spun some laps together!

On May 27th there is a FREE rail jam at Mt. Snow called the "Peace Pipe Rail Jam." I will be going to this event from Buffalo NY. Anybody want to go? I have a van that can fit seven people. All I ask is that we split gas. I will probably find a campground to tent out at or just sleep in the parking lot. Right now my plan is to drive up on Friday the 26th and tent out. Ski all day then drive back after the event. I have my own car which is much better on gas but can only take 3 people with gear.

Pm me if you're interested. I feel like this would be a lot of fun for a cheap price.
Here is the information from the website:

"Peace Pipe Rail Jam
Saturday May 27
Peace Pipe Rail Jam
Time: 10am - 4pm
Location: Bottom of Inferno
Description:
Our annual end of season rail garden at the base of Inferno returns! We set up a rail garden and crank some tunes. You show up, hike the park and ski or ride for FREE !
Skate on the mini ramps on the deck, and shred the park on the same day. It's our little "Thank you" for our park riding friends.
Visit F&B out on the Carinthia deck at the hot dog cart for weenies and refreshments to keep you well fed so you can hike all day!
Please, no dogs or coolers allowed." - https://www.mountsnow.com/events/calendar/peace-pipe-rail-jam/

I know that this is Holiday Valley and KB thread, but I am at school just south of Rochester. Is t Swain or Bristol worth the money to drop on a pass? they're both 40 mins away from me so it is pretty ideal for these two mountains. If anyone wants to help me out and guide this lost soul to the snow in this pancake flat area, I would be grateful.

I mean neither are horrible, I enjoy Bristol more but that's just a preference of mine. If it's a good winter and depending on what kind of skiing you do you will enjoy either place.

Bristol is better than swain, its mad decent actually. Two high speed lifts, killer snowmaking, decent parks, fair selection of trails. Bristol is pretty expensive imo, which is why I didn't go this winter. I think it might be worth your while to check it out if you want some quality skiing. If there is crazy pow and you're feeling bold, the trees next to commet are doable. Other than that the parks are pretty alright and the trails are fun. Take the loop (easiest way down from the top, through sunbelt and infinity and stuff) if you want some fun laps, if you go when there's been decent snowfall there should be little side hits everywhere, pretty fun to try and get creative on some of the stuff that turns up.

That's pretty much it, if ya got any question msg me!

Kids that go to Swain end up becoming some hard ass mother fuckers. Kids that go to Bristol wait in lines.

anybody seen the forecast for this week? Based on my observations from the past few years and my snowmaking knowledge, i personally think holiday could easily open the yodeler quad for the weekend with the given forecast. The only issue is the forecast for next week sucks and they may not want to risk the biscut by making snow snowz It certainly would be hype if they commited though.

They may possibly turn the guns on but they will be looking at long range forecast. Lift skiing won't be happening for another couple weeks.

Not a whole lot of people left holiday last year. Yeah there parks were not great. They have been on top of their park social media this year so it should defintely be a better scene for the parks this year.

I hope so, Holiday is such a nice resort it's a shame the parks are never that great. Wouldn't mind making some trips there this year.

Pissing rain all day today. Gonna be in the 40s 3/4’s this week. I dont see them opening up at least until the first week in december.

Also hope to see holiday get their parks under control. Seems like theyre on the good end of a solid change.

Yeah, I was shocked it was so nice.



Side note: Hit Foxfire for the first time in a couple years, no park there or fence, I heard it's been a couple seasons. Glaring epiphany: WHY THE FUCK DID THEY EVER HAVE A PARK THERE? That trails headwall was so nuts, should have always been a race hill.

Oh snap! I forgot about that. Do they still do the spring jam, like back in the day? Assuming not, since there hasn't been a park there in years

They have some jumps on foxfire but they’re super sus.

Haven’t had spring jam since like 2014 or some shit.

Im an intern for the marketing team this year maybe I can pull some strings and see if they can bring it back, would be killer.

Got a question:
I ski at Holimont and I am pretty much one of three regular park skiers; not to mention our park crew just cannot build one decent jump. Next season I am contemplating buying a night pass for HV. First off, how have the parks been recently? I mostly jump but I do a lot of rails too. Secondly, what’s the park community like? Thanks

My brother and I will be hiking Holimont next Saturday. We have our own rails and tools. At Holimont I know they don’t give two shits anymore if you hike; my dad and have been doing it for years. But yeah I wish HV would do a spring jam. I know I would be there
