Rochester is sweet you can get garbage plates and you can also get shot, sometimes you get both at the same time. I moved to summit county. roch is fun but not for skiing. FYI you'll want to ride at bristol.

ROC REPRESENT!

the R-O-C is full of garbage plates, drunks, sketchy people, but in general a pretty nice city...... very underrated in my opinion.  Fairly clean and pretty cheap to live here. Bristol isnt bad either which is like 40 min south.  www.bristolmt.com

Decent city, but keep your wits about you. Bristol seems to be the ticket for riding around here. I'm going to school here, just got here over the summer so I'm kinda new though.

Seriously though be careful, there are parts of the city you DO NOT want to be in. I also carry a knife everywhere since I've moved here. There's nothing to be said about bringing a knife to a gun fight, but I feel better nonetheless.

Hit me up with a PM, I live in downtown, go to school at RIT.

I'm about 30 mins from Rochester, but I go there often.  It's not really a bad city, but it's quite scary, so definitely bring a knife for protection (not even kidding).  You're gonna want to ski at Bristol because it's the closest/best mountain and there's a bunch of friendly locals there that are also on NS (me being one of them).  I'll send you an invite to the bristol cult too.

^Yep. What he said. Rochester is surprisingly pretty ghetto, a lot of crime...I would know, my mom is a stenographer. Bristol is your best bet if your looking for a mountain with a good base, one of the better parks around (even though it could be set up much, much better) and just has a little more vertical than other mountains. It's also the closest. Bristol rates are pretty steep, a seasons pass is around $500 something.

Well a lot of people are asking exactly where I am moving to and it's Pittsford Rochester.  I had no idea theres a high crime rate, i checked the place out a couple weeks ago and it seemed really nice, clean and inviting i guess. 

Oh well i think I am going to McQuaid high shchool, if anybody goes there tell me! I'm in 11 grade so ya.

Pittsford on the other hand is wayy different.  Pittsford is the "rich suburb" of rochester, you have nothing to worry about.  And I know plenty of kids from McQuaid, and I play them every year in lacrosse, it's always a good game.

Yeah, we're talking about in the actually heart/city of Rochester. You must be a wealthy dude...going to McQuaid and living in Pittsford. Right near Pittsford (like 5-10 mins) is Penfield. Thats where I live...but a bunch of kids in the Bristol Cult live in Canadaguia and fairly close to Bristol. Pittsford is a dope little town, it'll get boring eventually though.

Hey man i go to the University of Rochester  Pittsford is a really nice area but watch out if you are in the city ... Bristol mountain is probably where you are going to be doing most of your skiing

Bahahahah holy fuck yeah. Poughkeepsie is the slightly-more-urban-eastern-NY version of Pittsford.

Pittsford is pimp, you'll have no problems. Pittsford is totally removed from the city, nice place. The inner city is the only place you really have to worry about, anything that's like 5 miles removed from the Inner Loop is pretty much safe. And inside that radius there's certain sweet parts, like where I live up in the Park Ave district. Other areas are shady, but whatev.

My mom works at RIT, she works with students financial shit.  I get to go there for free too so I dont have to pay the 40,000 dollars. 

And for the thread maker I ski at Bristol and its ok.  Its a pretty far drive from Rochester but it could be worth it im not sure.

I'm from syracuse... rochester's got the highest rate of car theft/break ins in the state... more than nyc i think, so watch out for that.  as far as skiing, go to bristol

Yea, Pittsford is a stupid rich area. I was at Pittsford-Mendon high school once, and it's nicer than some colleges man. To ski, yep, it's Bristol over there. but that's about it for a decent drive, unless you want to go to the Adirondacks for a weekend trip or something.

Steer clear of Avenue D

Bristol is definently the place to ski in the area, downtown rochester has many urban options if they get enough snow.

U of R has some ill parties

Trash plates and Wegmans are the HUGE plusses about this area
