Holiday Valley

Just one hour from Buffalo and three hours from Toronto, Holiday Valley is one of the top resorts in the eastern US. The Valley's 52 trails are spread across 260 skiable acres and its 95% snowmaking coverage keeps the mountain white even when Mother Nature is a little short. Twelve lifts and an uphill capacity of 20,000 skiers per hour assure that little time will be spent waiting in line.The terrain is varied with beginners and intermediates benefiting the most while experts may yearn for more. The slopes don't close when the sun sets as Holiday Valley flicks the lights on for some excellent night skiing and riding.Three base lodges provide all the comforts and services you expect at a top resort, including a restaurant, cafeterias, lounges, ski school, ski rental and repair shops, day care and ski shops. Ellicottville is a very nice town with a number of restaurants, bars, shop and galleries.
