Holiday~Valley

i was there sunday and they have the new rails in the rail fun park, theres a wall ride, a c box and some rails and some trapazoid thing, big money on new stuff
 
im goin up tonight i know they are makin snow like crazy over on moonshadow and fiddlers ill take a look tonight and see whats up anyone else goin?
 
what was posted above is what's up right now. fiddlers is no longer a park, moonshadow may not be either, can't remember. Foxfire will be the main park run now.
 
Saw the new HV rails at the jam on Saturday and they're really nice. Harder than the old ones so more of a challenge.
 
to the post in response to mine see i heard just the opposite was going to happen and they were movin stuff back oh well hopefully we will find out soon enough
 
the new rails/boxes were on foxfire last night... i think the park might be better there than if it was on moonshadow

trap box is fun tho
 
just got back from my first trip to HV, it was a lot of fun minus the anal safety patrol who were glad to see me go back to PA, the rails on firefox were very smooth i was just a little frustrated with how it was mapped out. thanks to those that posted the park features!
 
as of this afternoon the park setup is

Bottom of Foxfire:

Battleship rail set up as a flat-down-more down

Triple barrel rail

c-box

battleship box

Take offs were a bit small, especially on the c-box. I'm sure due to all of the rain sunday.

Bottom of Mardi Gras:

Small rail

Small Butterbox

New, big butterbox

wallride (not open, needed to be dug out)

This week should be one of the better christmas weeks in recent memory. Hopefully there will be more features as the week goes on. I saw some snowmakers and the park guy scoping out foxfire. The old C-box is also sitting at the top of morningstar.

 
there will be the smith limo jam if you want to do that but it is supposed to be warm and rainy from time to time from thursday afternoon thru late sunday but it should be fun if you go
 
The park on mardi gras was redone, the only new feature is a flat box with urban takeoffs so far. The barrel is also back now with a gap from the lip to the barrel. Didn't get to hit it as it opened later in the day.

I don't know too much about the lodging around e-ville but the telemark motel (cadillac Jacks), right across the raod from the inn at holiday valley may be the best bet. There are a couple options in Salamanca or Springville, both about 1/2 hour away
 
that didn't work at all

stayed at the telemark motel last week, greatest deal ever. 60 bucks for the night, we packed it full and you can walk to the lifts.
 
not really going too well so far

Features on foxfire are the same, but the c and trap boxes were closed today.

The wallride is gone for now, in its place is a small jump with no landing.

All I want is a run full of features, I hate hiking parks.
 
HV finally has a real park...While other hills are closing their parks they finally decide to get it done.

Located on foxfire, line goes:

choice of triple barrel rail or trap

choice of jump, c-box or down rail,

choice of jump or double kink

Butter box/step up-step down kinda thing

Overall a very nice setup. Take offs are mellow, probably about 30 ft on top of the tables.
 
Unfortunately that's what happens when it's 65 degrees for 2 days and you're still building your base. Main trails survived, but connecting trails got trashed.

KB does not have the snowmaking to build a massive base, and the warmups kill them.
 
thats sick will foxfire be open to hit sunday even tho theres that comp? im not doin the comp becuase u have to regestur for ususa or w/e and its 75 dollars
 
yea? it will be open right after the comp. but im probably not enterin either.. expensive and theyre only lettin 25 skiers compete.. but its supposed to be huge, and a bunch of redbull gear. should be sick to film/watch
 
Nevermind, completely disregard anything I said.

I was thinking about the Redbull Rythemsections comp on the 26th.

I have NO clue about anything from this weekend.
