Best Parks in Upstate NY?

My grandparents live in Olean which is this dying town about an hour south of Buffalo. We ski in holiday valley, but in all my time there I've never seen a single kicker on the entire mountain. Maybe I'm not looking close enough. Either way, I'm looking for resorts with at a decent kicker assortment and moderately interesting pistes for the non park skiers in my family.

Any thoughts? Preferably under a 2 hour drive.

EDIT: I have done zero research on parks outside of Holiday Valley so I have a lot of trust in yall for this blank slate

I grew up at Swain and their jumps are super hit or miss from season to season.

I went to HV my whole time in college and they always have a decent park with aight jumps. I've read in here over the past couple seasons that they're really slacking off. I've read on FB and heard a few people in the area saying that their new park is going to be off the chain, but who knows. From the pics I've seen, I think there park has been in a really weird spot for the last 3-5 years as opposed to the big park they used to have on FireFox. I'd hold out for HV, it's a really good time after you meet the park kids there.

Kissing Bridge (significantly closer to Buffalo) has always had a sweet park and I think they still have an airbag jump. Peep that too. The HV/KB thread in this regional should give you good updates as the season begins.

If you want a good park HV has upped their game since past years and peek n peak will have a fire set up once they get their main park open, it’s embarrassing what peek has right now but hopefully by February they’ll have a good set up. It’s about an hour 15 past HV
