You're moving to the buffalo area? I'm form an hour or so east. Welcome to the land of 60 degree mondays and then 25 degree tuesdays! Holiday Valley is pretty  bomb. I used to ski there a lot, sick trails, glades are decent, and parks are decent.

the mountain is nice and they get decent snow but the parks are usually pretty bad, there are some fun features sometimes

i ski at holimont which is 5 minutes away from it. the only difference is that holimont is private and sucks way more! when i go there it is decent but no keystone. pm anti-mogal. he skis at holimont to but heads over the HV most days.

I"m from ohio and make my way up there once or twice a year if i can. It's a nice hill, not really a mountain. As long as you're not used to being out west or even farther east it's pretty good.

i live about 30 min from holiday so i ski there 50% of the time and then kissing bridge the other 50%, which is only about 15 minutes from my house.....dont bother wasting your money to go to kb.....for what they have, the prices for gas, tickets, and food are way to expensive. On a better note, holiday is by far the best place around here....the main park has been pretty good this year, but i think its features are a little too big for skiers who dont feel ready to hit 40 foot tables to practice their tricks on, and they are lacking a true progression park with some smaller features to mess around on. All in all, holiday is great place to ski, as long as ur not expecting a huge resort with tons of snow and such.
