Set in the heart of Ellicottville, Holiday Valley Resort (Chautauqua-Allegheny) invites visitors to embrace the season together across 60 scenic trails, offering a picturesque mix of terrain ideal for groups of all experience levels. From gentle cruisers to steeper descents—and the always-popular Mountain Coaster—the resort delivers a full day of shared adventure in one of New York’s most charming mountain towns.
A Mountain Playground for Every Skill Level
Holiday Valley’s diverse trail network makes it easy for groups with mixed abilities to explore the slopes at their own pace. Beginners can warm up on approachable greens, while more seasoned skiers and riders take on steeper, more technical runs. And for those craving a thrill off the traditional trails, the Mountain Coaster offers a unique downhill experience that winds through the forest for an added dose of fun.
Après Relaxation at The Tamarack Club
After an energetic day on the mountain, groups can settle in at The Tamarack Club, the resort’s ski-in/ski-out hotel that blends convenience with comfort. The property features a full-service spa, heated outdoor pool, and relaxed spaces ideal for unwinding fireside with friends. It’s an inviting basecamp for multi-day getaways—steps from the slopes and moments from the village.
Explore the Charm of Ellicottville
Just beyond the resort, downtown Ellicottville offers a warm, welcoming après scene. Local breweries, wine bars, and eclectic eateries give guests plenty of options to toast a day of winter fun. The village’s walkable streets and lively small-town spirit create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed evening with friends.
Kick Off the Season: Holiday Valley Beer and Wine Festival
Visitors arriving early in the season can celebrate winter’s arrival at the resort’s Beer and Wine Festival on Nov. 8, where regional tastings and live entertainment set the tone for a festive mountain-town weekend. It’s a lively way to welcome the snow and sample local favorites—all against the scenic backdrop of Holiday Valley’s rolling hills.
