Mountain Biking

Mountain BikingTake to the woods on Holiday Valley's Mountain Biking Trails. The 4-5 mile "race loop" starts at the Holiday Valley Training Center and goes up gradually to the top of Cindy's. From there it goes across the ridge line of the resort and along skinny winding singletrack to the top of Eagle, Cochran Pond at the top of Morning Star and on to the top of Tannenbaum. For the adventurous, there are plenty of single track trails off the main route. At Eagle or Tannenbaum you can venture out across the logging roads behind the Valley and on to the WYMBA trails in the State Forest, or try your skill at going downhill on Tannenbaum or the singletrack on Crystal-Tannenbaum. It's all pedal power here at Holiday Valley...no lift service, and no charge to use the trails. Please remember these common sense rules...wear a helmet, ride with a friend, bring a map and stay off the golf course.

An excellent guide to mountain biking in the area has been prepared by WNYMBA. Copies are available at the resort and at the Ellicottville Bike Shop in Ellicottville.
