Our wonderful summer and winter retreat is tucked away in the hills of Ellicottville. Come with your friends and family to play on our snowy slopes or the cool green hills of summer. Fabulous lodging options give you the choice of slope side and nearby hotels or condos. Tie it all together in the fun-loving Village of Ellicottville. Shop, eat, explore or just enjoy the small town hospitality.

Snowy Tannenbaum TreesAs we enter our 52nd winter season, Holiday Valley is Western New York's true destination ski and snowboard resort. Fifty-six slopes are spread over four different faces with a 750-foot vertical drop and 13 lifts. We're known for our great variety of terrain, lake effect snowstorms and the fun-loving ski town of Ellicottville (4 blocks full of great restaurants and fun shopping)...plus the hometown friendliness of Western New York. Four terrain parks plus a half pipe, several glades and a wonderful children's program provide fun for skiers and riders of all ages.

Guests may stay in the beautiful Inn at Holiday Valley, right at the base of the Sunrise Quad or in one of the many nearby townhouses, condos or lodges on the slopes or in the village. New for the 2009-10 season is the Tamarack Club, a spectacular condo-hotel at the base of Holiday Valley featuring 4-star amenities. Area activities include shopping, dining, tubing, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

Yodeler Lodge SummerWhen the snow is off the slopes, the newly redesigned 18 hole Double Black Diamond Golf Course provides a stern test of golf as it winds through the woods and around ponds creating a pleasing blend of play. Summer is laid back relaxation where you can sip umbrella drinks by the pool, stroll through the Village, pamper yourself at the spa or get down and dirty on the many mountain bike trails. Several festivals are scheduled throughout the summer and fall with music, food, art and activities to please everyone.
