theabortionatorNever been but talked to their park manager at cutters camp and he seems like a good dude and knows what's up. Would like to get to some of those mountains eventually but it's hard to justify a long drive to western NY.
As far as the thread why wouldn't you tell us what you thought?
MooseNutsDon't bother coming up here, all of the parks are beyond pathetic and 6-10 years behind the times.

jlens05holiday gets way more snow than kb trust me i live right next to kb, and ski at holiday mostly. everything about holiday is so much bigger and better than kb. holiday is definitely hands down the best resort in wny.
m00seJust do your self a favor and just don't go to Kissing Bridge. That place is god awful.
*JPI agree with you, except kissing bridge has a more local vibe and is defiantly cheaper and less crowded. that being said, kissing bridge never rebuilds their park all season, and the lips and landings are badly maintained.
i would go to holiday valley before kissing bridge any day of the week. however, kb is only 25 minutes away from me so i go to kb mostly.

MinggKb changed up the park last season..? It was towards the end of the season but it was sick what they had set up. The thing about kb is their park crew doesn't really give a shit about anything except for the features they want to hit. They never keep up with any of the lips or landings and it's annoying as shit. To be honest the closest I've ever seen someone fixing something was when this kid was laying inside the rollercoaster box... smoking a blunt. Other than that though, kb had some pretty cool features set up this season.
Holiday is bigger than kb but it has like a really serious vibe there. Idk how to explain it. And every time I went there this season their park was closed so I didn't get to ride it. I'd rather go to kb though, its only like 20 minutes away and everyone there is awesome.
*JPthey changed it for that event at the end of the season and it was only open for a few days. generally, once a feature is set up in the main park it wont move for the rest of the year.
that being said, kb had some pretty creative features this season (for kbs park crew at least). unfortunately, a lot of them got shitty fast because they barely maintained them.

theabortionatorDamn, that's sad. With some of the threads I've seen recently I thought maybe they were steppin their games up and doing the sick park at a small mountain thing.
I'm still in NY but some of the heavy hitters in VT are only a few hours away.
The closest I've been to any of those was riding lab a handful of times over a decade ago.

jlens05i couldnt have said it any better my self
JosephRikysUmmm?
nick21861Lab looks legit. If you're coming this way ever check out Peekn Peak and then 7 Springs. Springs is worth a little more driving
Sir.Steezealotnobody can make a proper a jump
Chubz.I'm biased towards pknpk because it's my home mountain but if you ski both on the regular give me 5 good reasons why HV has a better park than Peek n Peak.
theabortionatorMaybe I'll try and get a job at one of those resorts at some point. WNY wasn't really on my job radar but if it really needs some love and any of those places are down to make some changes/ put a few bucks into the park, I could get down.
*JPplease try to get a job as park manager at kissing bridge. the parks have so much potential, but the current park crew doesn't take advantage of it.
theabortionatorI'm def gonna get back to lab again. I think that might be the first place I hit a rail in like 99. PLace built some pretty monster jumps for the times back then. Def had a cool thing going in that park. Probably only made it there 4 or 5 times but had a lot of fun.

MinggYES. Oh my god, dude you've got so much potential to being to kb. Park Crew at kb fucking suck. Like I said before they only maintain their favorite features and let everything else go to shit and they smoke weed all day, everyday. I've never seen any of them fix or work on anything. I'm actually trying to get on park crew this year. It probably won't happen but it's worth a shot. Definitely would like to help bring kb's park up to what it could be.
Chubz.Theres potential in WNY. People sleep on the park scene around here. Peek n peak is the only hill getting things done.
sketchy_kingI heard that holiday might be moving the park this upcoming year thank god I hope this is true

ABallsIf the abortionator had the park manager job Id throw a fucking fiesta.
There is nothing better than going to kb late on a weekday and lapping their park with your favorite playlist going. There's usually no one there and its awesome. That's pretty much it about kb, they do have reallllllly good French fries though. Maybe you go to kb first to buy some fries then take said fries to hv and eat them there.
Holiday is dope, it's an overall better mountain but it also comes with an overall higher price. The trails are great and hv maintains the mountain well besides the park. The park sucks cock and has sucked cock for the previous two seasons. I don't see a change in the future though besides the possibility of the park being relocated to moonshadow. For those who don't know hv's park is really steep and you can grow a beard with your time spent on the chairlift to the run. Moonshadow is relatively flat and has a high speed lift.
tl;dr abortionator is awesome (plz come to hv), kb sucks but can be fun when no one is there, hv has a decent mountain/shitty park. Pknpk is the only place close with a reputable park.
