The Skiers' Guide to Holiday Valley: Expert Analysis & Reviews

Holiday Valley is a great family resort, with a variety of runs for all levels of riders. The staff are friendly and attentive all around the resort. You can bring your own food into the lodges - there are many tables where you can sit to eat. There are places to leave your things while you are on the hills, and in my years of experience, I have never had anything stolen. There are some cafeterias in the lodges as well if you want to buy food. The resort can be very busy on weekends, with long lift lines, and the runs totally covered with people. If you want fresh pow, then be sure to be there early in the morning, the trails can get tramped pretty quickly with the volume of people there on weekends. There are two terrain parks, both are pretty basic and could benefit from more attention.

My favorite small resort in the Northeast. The tree lined runs like Crystal, Mistletoe, and Ballet are perfect. The lift system keeps being improved year after year. Also the ski school is absolutely phenomenal and employ men and women who have skied and coached skiing for decades. This resort is where I learned to ski and still frequent. It will always hold a place in my heart and I still refer to it as my home mountain.

Had a great time snowboarding! Lifts ran smoothly and they had beautiful terrain! There werent really many spots to eat like other hills Ive been to, but parking was great and easy to navigate
