Best Ski Resort for Eating Out in New York: Holiday Valley - Eating Out Rating
Holiday Valley's dining options get consistent praise from our users. The food is described as "pretty delicious" and fairly priced according to Grant, an advanced skier. The resort offers various food options across multiple lodges, with Caitlin highlighting that you can bring your own food to eat at the many tables available. For those purchasing food, the cafeterias in the lodges serve quality options, though Isaac notes they're "a little expensive but very good." The resort's dining scene complements the vibrant town of Ellicottville, which several users mention has excellent restaurants worth exploring after a day on the slopes.
#2 Hunter Mountain - Eating Out Rating
Hunter Mountain offers a mixed bag when it comes to dining options. Some Snomad users appreciate the food scene, with John Jay, an advanced snowboarder, giving the eating options a thumbs up. However, other visitors are less impressed. Joe, an expert skier, finds the après-ski decent at the main bar, but considers the food options just average. Ciprian, who hits the advanced slopes, suggests bringing your own snacks if you're not keen on canteen food, though mentions that "the soups and drinks there are ok." For those staying a while, the variety seems adequate but not extraordinary.
