You’re a lot better off going down a regular hill than the bunny hill if you’re trying to learn how to snowboard. Plus there isnt 90,000 ppl on a 100ft hill all falling down in front of you. On regular hills you have to turn, which forces you to carve. i know when i was going down the bh i was reluctant to carve, and i couldnt because some little kid would be right in the middle. However last year some girl fell in front of me and i jumped over her and actually made it down the hill. i felt pretty BA lol. i only ski now tho. im teh suck at snowboarding. ill prob be going everyday during the week besides fridays edit: fuck i missed the discount for hv ---

The Schoolhouse hill at HV is actually pretty good for getting the basics of snowboarding down. Learning how to get up, stand, stop, turn, link turns, and some basic carving. Its got enough slope where you can get the speed you need to actually move a snowboard. The actual toe-rope bunny hill on the other hand I wouldn’t even think of using. ---

I think that you are about my height Dan, you can borrow all of my stuff if you want so that you can see if you like doing it. It will be better than trying to learn on rental equipment. Maybe I will then decide to buy new stuff and give you my old! word, i will send you a message. ---

I sure hope it’s going to be! I know this may turn out to be my last season riding Holiday Valley… may do a major relocation/riding upgrade this winter/spring. And if I know you… maybe a place for people to come take a vacation and visit for “the best powder anywhere”. 😉 ---

I still have a ton of passes for Holiday Valley if you guys need some. Good for 8 hour passes any day of the week. Really looking forward to this season and the new high speed quad that is up and almost ready to go. ---
