Just purchased some Volkl 75 ski’s and am ready to go… The plan is to not/hardly ever goto KB this year… meaning lots more HV. I usually go alone, looking for people to get out with that can peel me off a tree. Any deals on HV passes? season? 😃 ---

Signed the family up with a 1 year trial membership to Buffalo Ski Club through a friend who’s a member and instructor there. Did season ski rentals through snow ski and board on transit to see if we enjoy skiing before we plunk down money on buying equipment ($89/person for a ski/boot combo rental). Hopefully this is a winter hobby I get to do a lot more than I used the damn snowmobile last winter. ---

Gearing up to work Sundays again teaching snowboarding at Holiday Valley. Cant wait for the season to start. I’ll be riding probably Saturdays and Sundays, along with a few week nights here and there. If anyone is interested, I’m selling a board. ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/snowboard1_zps37a0b802.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/snowboard1_zps37a0b802.jpg) ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/snowboard4_zps10e383cb.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/snowboard4_zps10e383cb.jpg) ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/snowboard3_zpsfc6ceaa3.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/snowboard3_zpsfc6ceaa3.jpg) ---

I made it to holiday about 20+ times last year. Even though the conditions for weather sucked, we still had a decent surface to board on. Again given the weather we had compared to any other local ski resort. ---

Bought my day pass for KB during the dirty girl thing. It was 20% + previous passholder discount and it was only $340 Got to see hot chicks covered in mud, good deal on a pass :tup: however my S2000 was completely covered in mud and the underside + motor still is :tdown: ---

I usually do Sundays at Holiday, it’s like $150 for the season. I’m pretty sure I won’t be going much/ at all due to my knee injury back in January. Grabbed a whole new setup last season too and used it twice. ---

we hit KB a bunch last season on the Monday night retro night for $16 from 4-10 and the friday late night thing from 11-1 or whatever. that night was the best night we went out. the only time we hit HV was on a Wednesday with the intense chocolate milk caps lol. lets hope for a better winter this year! ---

The late nights were awesome. I usually only hit up HV 3-5 times because of the distance. It takes me like 20minutes to get to KB and i can just randomly go after work vs revolving my whole day around it @ HV. i like HV better just wish it wasn’t an hour away ---

Just because I’m a dick… more snow forecast here in the upper elevations… Hopefully this will be a good year, last year was eh, only 300-400" of snow, something like 65% of average/normal. 😛 We had \>6" fall last week above 9k; the hardcore guys were already out skiing in it. No new equipment for me this year, other than maybe a backpack and some off-resort equipment; but all that depends how things are with School/Work and if I have time to go more than once or twice. ---

This is why I don’t waste money in WNY. 5 good days out there is better than 5 good years here. That being said, I did buy a season pass here last year and was reminded why it had been 15 years since I made that mistake. ---

I HAVE always wanted to learn how to snowboard…but I always backed down once I saw what it would cost to TRY it and see if I like it… $100+ for one day after rentals and lift pass is redic. just to see if I can ride the bunny hill and if I like it. If my damn feet weren’t so damn huge I could probably have borrowed gear to try but I wear a damn size 14. ---
