What's the deal with so little mountains committing to building parks anymore!? I remember most mountains at the very least throwing some sketch rails up but now there's almost nothing other than gore and whiteface.

This weekend Holimont in WNY is stacking up to open an enormous park right off the main lift. Prob the biggest in the area. I talked to the new park manager and he is super legit and ready to bring some serious changes.

I grew up watching really good park skiers ripping at HM and HV back when they had decent setups. Over the last couple years I watched the park deteriorate and the community dry up. At this point it’s me and one other girl who make up HM park community. I’m glad they’re making changes tho

Just went to gore this weekend. Their main park trail was closed because their making a massive snow cross course. 1 gladed park that had like 6 wooden features, one sucky hike park, and one weird ski cross jump line combo. Overall kinda sucked.

Yeah. He’s the man. I asked him if he’d be willing to set up a flat bar down rail and it was done the next day
