Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner who is looking to embrace a winter lifestyle, there’s something at Holiday Valley for everyone. Here’s why you should be stoked about the upcoming season and why now is the perfect time to get your season pass.

Your Winter Playground

Do you really want to hibernate all winter long? Or do you want to get outside and make the most of a Western New York winter? If you're reading this, it means you want the latter. Holiday Valley is a premier destination for winter sports fans throughout the region and beyond. With 60 slopes and 13 lifts, giving you access to trails spread across our stunning terrain, there really is something for everyone. From the exhilarating challenge of The Wall to the pristine flow of Tannenbaum, every skier and snowboarder can find their sweet spot here.

Our state-of-the-art snowmaking and grooming operations ensure that the conditions are top-notch, so you can focus on getting in as many runs as possible rather than worrying about the weather. Speaking of the weather, the long-term forecast is calling for a La Nina weather pattern this winter, which is usually a sign of fun times out on the slopes here in Ellicottville.

New for This Season

Every year, we strive to make Holiday Valley even better, and this season is no exception. This off season, we’re investing approximately $3 million back into the resort to ensure that you enjoy your next visit even more than you did your last. We’ve invested even more into what is already one of the top snowmaking systems in the state in order to make it even more efficient and effective. Rest assured, when the temperature drops below freezing and the forecast is favorable, our dedicated team of Snowmakers will be making snow!

Holiday Valley is more than just a ski resort – it’s a premier winter experience for your entire family. Our tubing park is a hit with kids and adults alike, offering hours of laughs and thrills. The Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster is another fun and unique way for non-skiers to feel the excitement of racing down the slopes.
Our ski school is renowned for its friendly and experienced instructors, making it the perfect place for beginners to learn and for seasoned skiers and riders to take their skills to the next level. We also offer adaptive programs to ensure that everyone can enjoy the slopes.

All about the Après-Vibes

After a day of adventures, the fun doesn’t stop. Our après-ski scene is the perfect way to unwind and kick back after your day on the slopes.
