New York Snowboarders

[live 2 ride]

So where do you guys that live in New York go snowboarding?
i don't really have any big ones around me. but i go to mountian creek and hunter. and farther is bell air but i haven't gone there yet. but im going there sometime this season. has anyone been there to?

Hunter and Mtn Creek are 2 of the big ones, Hunter gets a lil crowded tho. Snowshoe, Mt Snow, Smugglers Notch, there are 63+ resorts in the NE alone

I live in upstate NY. I usually hit up catamount everyday but once in a while hunter. The reason i don't go to hunter cuz most kids are total as wipes with the best gear who can't ride. Catamount isnt as good as hunter but its such a chill enviroment.

Hunter or Mountain Creek. Those are the only ones I can really get to without a car.

In my experience the best mountain is Windham. Hunter's trails are so thin and the place is always crowded. I would avoid Hunter and go to Windham. I've also been to Bel-Air. This place is ok cause it almost always empty!!

i have a season pass to mountain creek...
went to bellair last year once
and i went to my friends house near MT.SNOW a couple times

Whiteface is great when the snow is good.

Gore was a big disappointment. I was there for last winters big storm and it was still kind of lame. They have a few good runs off the main gondola but everything else was a bit blah.

Killington is pretty solid, they have a lot of variety. My problem is that it's a criss crossed fustercluck.

Hunter is one of my favorites but the weekend crowd can be tough.

That's all I've hit up there for now. I'd like to try some of the others when I get the chance.

[live 2 ride]

we need get some group discount for season passes. all I know of so far is mtn creek 4 seson passes bought at once are $249/each.....got anything better?

[freestylefrenzy]

beleayre is allright. the terrain isnt as good as hunter but it doesnt get the crowds and i think thats most important cuz no lines=more riding

[freestylefrenzy]

and wyndam kinda sucks in my opinion....the terrain isnt as good as hunter and it gets my crowds then hunter 2 at times and it has s***** snowmaking

[gerard]

I havent been to windham but I hit up mountain creek and hunter quite often. Bellayre is a nice mountain but the staff there sucks, they are way too strict about everything...

I usually ride at hunter or mtn. creek. Creek is kinda blah terrain wise but soooooo cheap and convenient (great if your into riding half pipe and park). Hunter is lots of fun but, but can get real crowded(crowds generally aren't a problem on the westside). Haven't ridden the poconos in awhile. Windham kinda sucks in my book, mostly because the majority of blacks there are straight wide open sheets of ice, and the lifts there seem slow. Bellayre is fun, cheap and relatively uncrowded. The downside is the trails are short, but the tix are cheap (my best day of riding was on a march day 2 years ago when they got 2 feet of snow the day before i went and the temps were in the 50s). Rode Plattekill a couple of years back (they had a tow rope, which is bloody murder to use on a snowboard) really fun terrain and no crowds but the place is next to impossible to find. Also ridden tremblant, but didn't get a great feal for the mountain because it was december and i was recovering from kee surgery, so i sucked. Heading back up to Mt. Snow to introduce the lady friend to boarding (fun easy mountain, and midweek=cheap and no crowds). I'm hoping to find time for a 2 or 3 day trip up to stowe or jay this winter.

I've been to bellaeyre this year and they got almost a foot of snow the night b4 so the trails were great, I also go to Windham which i don't really like (way too icy). Hunter is kinda expensive compared to some others.. I like the cheap mountains, so I'm plannin on gettin to creek this year to see what the big hype about their park is, all my friends go there...I've been to vermont and Killington is too popular to enjoy the riding, way too packed. but I'll go anywhere within a few hours, since I'm always the one driving out of the group at 5am to get to the mountains when they open.

[mindovaanything]

i'm gonna be all over the place, Creek, HUnter, Wyndam (sp), Killington, Mt. Snow, Stowe, Stratton, i didnt get to ride much at all the past two years but i get free lift tickets from work so i'm going to take advantage and get as many days in as possible. Who wants to hook up some car pools to Vt. etc. My buddy has a house at Mt snow.

i like to go to whindam.. hunter is always too crowded and the people who go there are all from the city.. and there as*holes... im from Longisland btw.. but yea i have a cabin upstate.. like 5 minutes from whindam,plattekill and bel-air.. ther all decent.. but whindam is the best one out of the 3... also whiteface is a pretty good mountain... when its not icy at the top.. thers so many to choose from.. just do some research

[powder1978]

i'm all about some car pooling, i've got an SUV so i've got room for a weekend trip wherever

[mindovaanything]

weekends are too crowded who wants to ride during the week? i'm hitting up creek wed and thurs in the afternoon? anyone wanna go riding?

[naps]
