Nice NY state resort. Beautiful nature, fast lifts, great snowmaking. Weekdays place is empty. Elicotville is very nice village, great shopping and restaurants. Definitely worth a trip.

I love skiing at Holiday Valley its about a one hour drive from my house but its worth it every time me and my 2 other sisters all ski and we love to go whenever we can. I tried my first black diamond here and it was really great experience the conditions are always really good and the wide range of hills make it perfect for whatever level you are

The people are so friendly and helpful I went up here for my kid to do adaptive skiing and she had such a blast having this opportunity. I think it's wonderful they give wheelchair users this fun . It just makes my kid smile so much she loves it

A great resort with good staff and good people. Nice long and wide bunny hill with many nice blue and green trails. Very scenic and fun. Mardi Gras trail is the perfect long distance calm trail. Two nice terrain parks. Lifts work well and are fast and reliable. Food is a little expensive but very good.

Great resort. Always a fun time. Ive been out of state for a few years but I used to go here every year with my family. I feel like they have a little for everyone. Staff is friendly and it will be a great experience for anyone of any age.

A great resort for the area that makes the most of the entire mountain and limited season and truly stretches it out to give riders the best possible season regardless of the elements. The lifts move quickly and the lines are usually short so living in the WNY area and being a skier/boarder this is the place to go. Oh and the night skiing option is amazing

Holiday valley is the best family oriented ski resort in Ellicottville NY. They make sure safety is first whatever your ski level is.
