Reviews

Holimont is the ultimate family resort on the East coast in WNY! Located in the the town of Ellicottville which has tagged itself as a "drinking town with a skiing problem" it lives up to the hype of having the nightlife with live bands and DJs while simultaneously offering upscale restaurants and family activities post skiing. Holimont is the private resort that is open to non-members on weekdays and members and invited guests on weekends. Because of its location, the town receives excellent lake effect snow for powder and days in the trees. They have a robust snow making system for the days in between snow storms guaranteeing excellent conditions. They have dedicated multiple areas for terrain park and have a wide variety of runs for beginners to the advanced. Once skiing is over, enjoy après at their chalet which always includes live music, sledding for kids and beverages for the adults. The resort has something for everyone and once you try it once you will be begging to become a member!
