The ski and snowboard season isn’t over yet but it’s not too early to prepare for next winter.

In many ways it seems hard to believe that March is already here! The winter months have been flying by and it seems like only a few days ago that Ellicottville was getting blanketed with its first significant snowfall of the season. But the reality is, that first snowfall was months ago and Western New York has been blessed with a fantastic winter that saw many days of phenomenal, fresh snow. With a solid base of snow covering the slopes there is still plenty of time left to get your turns in and create long-lasting memories with your friends and family. 

Holiday Valley has seen a lot of people visit the resort this winter. Some of you have been season pass holders for years (even decades) and we thank you for your continued support and dedication. Others were visiting Ellicottville for the first time ever and we truly hope those of you who fit this description feel like you’ve found something special where you will continue to visit for years to come. Regardless, one thing holds true for everyone; it’s never too early to start planning for next season.

Now is the time to buy your 2021-22 Holiday Valley Season Pass. Aside from the fact that you will lock in the lowest price of the year for your pass when you purchase it before April 30th, there are many great reasons to buy now. 

1. Get your pass now and ski/ride the rest of this season. If you don’t currently have a season pass, you can ski free the rest of this season when you’ve paid for your 21-22 pass in full.

2. If you refer a new pass holder, you are eligible for a $50 Holiday Valley gift card. If you refer a new family, you’ll get a $100 gift card.

3. If you’d like to take your time paying for your pass, you can take advantage of our fee-free installment payment plan to help spread the cost of your pass out over the course of four months.

Saving money is always great, but the real reason to get a Holiday Valley season pass is for the memories you'll create. Winters in this area can be long but if you spend them outdoors, doing something you love, it gives you an entirely new appreciation for Western New York winters. If this past year of social distancing and Covid-19 precautions has taught us anything, it’s that time spent outdoors is time well spent. Crisp, fresh air is invigorating! Hanging out with family and friends on the slopes is a unique way to spend time with the people you care most about. Plus, skiing and snowboarding are really fun ways to exercise. There are so many upsides to being a pass holder at Holiday Valley that it’s difficult to list them all. Ultimately, it’s on you to come up with your own reasons on why you love spending your winter at Holiday Valley. That’s the great thing about it…for every person there is a different reason for being a pass holder and no one reason is better than another. 

Remember, we are all skiers and snowboarders; no matter our ability level. Today’s four year old on the magic carpet is tomorrow’s grom spinning over jumps in the terrain park. The beginner practicing her pizza turns on the bunny hill could someday soon be making GS turns as part of the Holiday Valley Race Team. The opportunities are endless when it comes to personal expression and progression when you are out on the slopes!

So don’t wait. Learn more about buying a 2021-22 season pass and pick the pass that's right for you. We’re looking forward to having you as part of the Holiday Valley family.
