frosted_flakesCan anybody give me the rundown on the CNY mountains? Where do you ski? Which has the best park?
brotoWe'll I used to live just south of Syracuse but I'm currently in a car on my way to college in utah. Been in huge area since I was born though.
CNY is a poophole of parks and mountains. I worked terrain park at toggenburg. The crew there is all pretty dedicated riders but management doesn't care about the park so we don't get much time with the cat and the park suffers because of that. We also don't cater to beginners well. If you're just learning park go to lab.
Labrador is like the opposite of togg. Almost always a groomed park and the park trail get snow made on it quickly but the head guy off the park crew is kind of behind the times. They buy stupid boxes and set up the park stupidly IMO. A park not reaching its potential.
Songs park is horrible but probably has the best terrain of the tiny cny hills until you hit Greek peak (which also has an abysmal park).
Woods valley past Rome is getting better. They never used to be on the map for park skiing but new ownership gave them a lot more to work with. The trail layout is stupid however and their jumps are usually pretty bad. They had a really fun 45 footer last year, but it was pretty flat and hard to get enough speed to clear it.
Brett7047ive been to windham once, nice mountain, i wish i lived close to it
MiomoWindham is shit. Hunter's better in literally every way.
Peter.i'm from syracuse and am in syracuse for the next 3-4 years for medical school. i'll be up at togg/lab on weekends as soon as my ACL heals up
but yeah, bristol is probably worth the drive if youre near syracuse, youre out by utica though so it's far for you

frosted_flakesthat sounds sick...
Brett7047yeah i ski woods valley and take trips to gore, its the closest place( more of a glorified hill really)for me to ski. Sadly only started really enjoying skiing last year and didnt decide to begin park till late in the year. Also havent been to labrador or toggenburg but im sure theyre bigger than woods.

SideShowBobFite me m8
theabortionatorIf you go to jore and swing through speculator stop by oak mtn and shred some park laps or a berrrrr at ze bar. I'll be living up there again this winter Also my first time at woods was the spring the season before this last post season and had a good time shreddin some stuff. The crew there is pretty cool.
It was one of those mountains that should have a sick park but never really did. That said Keith from NAshoba snagged the manager spot they had and will probably turn things around there. They have the space the features and the budget.
Also grew up in the southern adk's here. Rode lab 5 or 6 times 10-15 years ago but that's all I've done out that far. SOmetime I'll get out to cny for something other than music. Actually probably not
mmccarthy14ill sok u rite in the gabber and rek ur mums cunt m8
Brett7047Whoa dude you know oak Mtn? Haha went there once last year, was pretty cool, though the park didn't have a whole lot when I went. But yeah I'd be down. Any people in CNY just hit me up ski season I'll be down to show ya how bad I am haha
theabortionatorAnother thing with Oak. Everything is new so the park has really only been happening the last 2 seasons. Last season was the first REAL year where there were some decent features from preseason to post season.
Hopefully I'll be able to build a few more features, a 8' by 12' wallride will be out, I'll finish the 20'x6' df rail, and hopefully find some steel to build a couple more things. Maybe some more boxes and or tube rails.
But let me know what your thoughts were. If the space was too tight, features weren't your style, things weren't set up right, you didn't like the colors or anything. Always down for feedback.
