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!

I'm getting shoulder surgery Monday, so hopefully I'll get out for one night of skiing this year. If I go, I'll be on Moments with purple and gray Saga.

Drove up this morning it was unreal, the conditions were excellent. So much snow, we haven't had a snowfall like this in a while. You should definitely get down there ASAP.

The WNY back bowls are sacred, known only to a select few. By even mentioning them I'm breaking every rule set to protect them

They just posted the episode of the Tell A Friend Tour from Holiday. Purrdy short episode in comparison. Probably because there were only 2 reasonable features there. Sick skiing anyways.

Flat down rail next to a flat box. Down flat rail. Down rail with a donkey kink next to a closeout tube, small rainbow box and small flat rail, down flat tube next to a cannon rail. Small dfd and tiny flat rail. A 25 footer and a 35-40 footer next to a 10 footer for jumps

I'm love the rails, not too impressed with the structure of the jumps.

i know it's a little unrelated but this thread gets a lot of action...

can anyone give me the scoop on holimont? never been there. looks like i can buy a ticket but it would hurt my pockets a bit, so i'd want to make it a good day of filming. usually a good park?

Holimont is only open to the public on weekday, and there's no night skiing. Their park is just a bunch of small hits in a row. There's a few small jumps, and several decent rails with ride on lips. It's good if you're not looking to get better, but just to mess around for a bit.

*haven't been there this year. Not even sure if it's up yet. But the park hasn't changed in 2-4 years.

And Mattie, I'll probably be around. Blue coat, grey pants, yellow gogs. There's not much of a skiing scene at KB anymore unless you're 15 years old. Everyone moved to better places, or skis at Holiday Valley.

Does anyone else think that the Donkey Dick next to the closeout tube at Holiday on Foxfire is a bit ridiculous? Because it has such a sharp angle at the donkey dick, I haven't hit it yet but it looks a bit sketchy. Anyone wanna verify.

Meh I didn't think it was bad. It's a little aggressive to be honest, but nothing that isn't to hard to handle. I would say the down-flat tube after that is worse off and more sketchy.

Thats actually what I was talking about. The park looked really nice on friday, but it kinda sucked sunday. Anyone have any idea if they're doing a complete rebuild after the thaw? If so what's it looking like.
