Ah, the crispness of autumn in Ellicottville! The Ellicottville Fall Festival at Holiday Valley is where autumnal charm meets lively festivity. As the vibrant hues blanket the town, the festival provides visitors with a range of activities, each more delightful than the last. Taking place October 7-8, 2023, the festival promises a weekend full of activities for the whole family.
There were smiles for miles on Saturday, March 16 for the first every Holiday Valley Uppenovr. 
Picture yourself in this scenario: You're in a charming village nestled among picturesque hills, blanketed in fresh snow. Cold, crisp air hits your lungs and awakens your sense of adventure. The excitement of skiers and snowboarders ready to hit the slopes fills the atmosphere around you. Welcome to Ellicottville, NY...
Behind the scenes, there is a group of dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to ensure that the slopes are covered with pristine snow, creating the perfect conditions for skiers and snowboarders. 
With some cooperation from the weather forecast, we are hard at work to get the slopes ready to reopen soon. 
The Holiday Valley Snowboard Team is more than just a season long program where kids learn about the differences between a carved and a skidded turn or the proper way to spin off of jump in the park. It’s a team that is based on camaraderie, passion and teaching aspiring young athletes’ life lessons that will serve them well later on down the line. Most importantly, the team is out there on the slopes to have fun…in an environment that prioritizes safety while also helping to get young riders comfortable with pushing the boundaries of their comfort zone. 
Be the first to ride the Mardi Gras 6 chairlift on its inaugural trip of the 23-24 winter season. 
As the crisp whisper of winter beckons the thrill of the slopes, Holiday Valley is setting the stage for a ski season that promises more than just the exhilaration of the descent. This year, the sizzle isn't just on the snow—it's also in the kitchen. Our Food & Beverage brigade is ecstatic to unveil the latest maestro of flavor, our new Head Chef, whose culinary skills are poised to ignite your taste buds and warm your spirits after your snowy adventures.
As autumn leaves turn vibrant hues and the air gets that familiar crispness, Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville, NY, invites you to our exclusive "Crawl Outta Fall" event. This isn't just a bar crawl; it's the official kick-off to our annual Beer & Wine Festival, featuring amazing prizes and the best of Ellicottville nightlife.
