The Benefits of a Classic Pass

It goes without saying, the number one reason for buying a season pass at Holiday Valley is because you like to ski or snowboard and a Classic Pass gives you unlimited access. But is that the only thing?

Not even close! A quick poll from Holiday Valley staff revealed so much more.

Jane: A season pass gives you time to spend with your family and friends. One of my favorite things to see on the mountain is a mom or dad with their child, just one-on-one spending quality time together. It’s stuff memories are made from. And where else can you hang with your teenager and experience joy together? Ski friends are friends for life. 

Katie: Skiing and riding get you outside to experience the exhilaration of winter weather and the beauty of the winter landscape. Winter is too long to spend it indoors!

Phil: Your health depends on keeping moving, year ‘round. A sweaty, smelly gym or the slopes? No comparison! (Actually, Phil says you need both!)

Niki: A Holiday Valley Classic Pass has a bunch of special extras like 3 Early Ski Days where 2 lifts open an hour early just for passholders’ first tracks, discounts at the Mountain Shops, Buddy Passes, lesson discounts and summer activities discounts. Great values for more great fun!

Andy: When the sun goes down at 4:30 and it’s dark and grey, if you’re a skier or rider that’s OK. A Night or Combo Season Pass gives you something to look forward to despite the 15 hours of dark during winter.

Dennis: It’s all about the people you meet on the chairlift. The common interest of skiing/riding is a good opener for conversation with complete strangers. It’s amazing how many weddings we’ve hosted of couples who met on the ski slopes!

Scott: Escape the real world on the slopes, there’s no better stress relief!

No matter what your reason is, the value of a season pass goes far beyond the skiing or riding.
