Yung_JimmyThanks for the feedback everyone. Now the real question is am I gonna stay skiing 7S or hit up Big Boulder more often
voy10I love Seven Springs, and there's no place like
Home, especially with sick parks. boulder and springs are neck and neck, but If I were you I'd go to Springs
Yung_Jimmy^^For example 7S charges $650 for a pass when I could get the peak pass, ski big boulder and mount snow and 5 other mountains for $400. Also 7S sells the shittiest basket of chicken and fries you will ever eat for like $13 so fuck that.

CashKleestany homies at psu that ski park? I will be a freshman at psu next year and looking for some guys to ride with. My main concern is if there is no club for park skiers or a freestyle team i won't be able to ski much freshman year because i won't have a car on campus. Any Ideas or PSU park skiers or boarders?
Yung_JimmyI'm deciding between PSU and WVU rn, if I go to state we should get some laps in together. Hopefully there's a club that can bus us to boulder or springs bc I won't have a car either lol
Yung_JimmyPretty sure I'll be attending PSU next year and I'll probably want to ski a decent bit in college. Mainly looking for resorts with good parks but good all mountain terrain doesn't hurt. Obviously the 2 best resorts for park in the state are 7 springs (my home) and Big Boulder, but they're both 2 hours away so I'm looking for something closer. Tussey is real close but I've heard it's trash. Any info on Blue Knob, Roundtop, Sawmill, and Liberty would be appreciated as they seem to be the closest, but any others are appreciated as well.
Shower_BoyYo I'm a freshman right now at Penn State and I joined the ski team on campus. It's pretty dope we ski at tussey Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tussey is pretty shitty but it's 10 minutes from campus and they at least have a park so it's not too bad. Then each week during this semester we would compete at different mountains against schools like navy and Pitt. We went to sawmill, elk, wisp, seven springs and if you qualify for nationals (which I did easily and I'm a shitty skier) then you got to go lake placid to compete and I heard that nationals are at aspen next year

voy10So true tho. Everything that's sold
Up there is overpriced. Tickets, food, even the gear at Willis. I guess they gotta make money somehow. Passes are definitely worth it tho, because IMO it's killer skiing up there.
Rparrtheir lift ticket prices are fucked. Isn't their peak rate like 85 or 93$/day or something? I paid less per day at fucking Brighton in Utah.I never go to springs except for mashed potato. Also we get raped on tolls on the way in from Ohio
MaimHelpFor everyone here. On Monday's in march if you have a season pass anywhere you can go to 7 springs for free. Feel free to call them to make sure but that is basically the only time I got to springs.
Rparroh shit, I'm going to shred the fuck out of springs next monday. Thanks

treebeardblue knob is decently steep for the east, narrow groomers, and usually nothing but solid ice. the park was probably the sketchiest thing I've ever seen and the rails gave my skis tetanus. but this was like 6 years ago so maybe things got better?
roundtop used to have a great park, not sure if that's still the case.
i grew up at 7springs too. if that's what you're used to, you're probably better off making the drive. get a tussey pass for the days you don't have a lot of time
jon_matalavageI’m the terrain park manager at tussey and I have grown up skiing here. Tussey is pretty decent all things considered, we are a small hill 10 minutes from campus, and have dumped a pile of money into a new snow making lines, pumps and guns. If you check out the specials we have for lift tickets it’s pretty affordable.
MONDAY- buy one get one half day or full day lift tickets for college students
TUESDAY- 7-10pm lift tickets for $15
WEDNESDAY- 12-2pm tickets are half price
THURSDAY- 4-10pm tickets for $25
SATURDAY- 7-10pm tickets for $25
EVERYDAY- $2 off with a college ID on regular priced tickets
As far as terrain parks go we try our best to keep things progressive and dynamic. We mostly set up intermediate features with a few advanced options. This year we bought 8 new beginner rails/boxes. The conditions aren’t always prime due to the weather, we have been battling the rain this season. Over all if you don’t mind there being no lift lines unless it’s a powder day then you should have a good time here or at least it’s worth a try if you don’t have time to drive to a bigger mountain.

Shoey-SkiTussey is trash it’s been my home resort for the last 5 years , and honestly it’s shit, Liberty is okay, blue knob has shit parks, round top is sick but kinda expensive, bigboulder and springs are where it’s at , about a 2ish hour drive for both tho, I’m just renting an apt this winter and getting a peak pass and skiing boulder everyweekend because I’m sick of Tussey’s shit. Also if you ever consider working at Tussey park crew are assholes who think they are better than everyone and build stupid shit, and being an instructor won’t get you payed at all, I work over 500 hours this winter and only made a little over 600$ they don’t pay and it’s illegal but no one has the balls to take them in court and I’m too young :(
Yung_JimmyWith prices like that, as long as there are a few decent rails and a jump big enough to flip and cork on I will probably ski Tussey most of the time. Thank you
5yearsoldThe jumps are usually pretty small kinda like the santas beard jumps at springs, but there are always lots of fun rails and corrugated pipes
voy10Anyone know the quickest time they’ve done from PSU to Springs?
5yearsoldNot a PSU student but I live pretty close to campus and when I went i did it in probably 2 hours and 45 mins because I had to pick up a friend who lives out of the way but i bet you could do it in 2 hours and 15 mins if you didnt have to stop

loshWhy the hell would you continue to work there after hundreds of hours not getting paid? If they missed one of my pay checks I'd tell them to fuck off and I'd quit.
Shoey-Skiparents wouldnt let me quit
MaimHelpOh yeah you're the guy with vishnus at tussey. I just looked at your description lmfao
Shoey-SkiYeah haha, have I skied with you?
MaimHelpNot directly but I've seen you a lot when I was up there with school(state high). You're always instructing.
