Best Ski Resort for Snowboarders in New York: Holiday Valley - Snowboarders Rating 4.28/5
Snowboarders at Holiday Valley give the resort glowing reviews for its varied terrain. A Snomad community member who's an advanced rider praised the tree runs where "you can find some super pow in certain areas" despite being on the East Coast. Another user mentioned the "beautiful terrain" and smooth lift operations. Josh, an advanced snowboarder, called it a "super good resort" worth travelling to from Ontario, though he did have an unfortunate encounter with a tree! The two terrain parks get mixed reviews - some rate them highly while others suggest they're "pretty basic and could benefit from more attention."
