Winter is back and in full force here in Ellicottville. With roughly 6" of snow (and counting) in the past 24 hours the slopes are in great shape as we head into the upcoming weekend.
Get bundled up, remember to pack your hand warmers, and enjoy the weekend because it's going to be a fun one!

Cold temps are great for skiing and snowboarding. But that doesn't mean that you have to be cold when you're out having fun. Make the Mountain Shops at Holiday Valley your go-to place to get geared up so that you can stay warm and have fun...no matter what the weather throws your way!
T-BAR MUSIC
Come to the T-Bar to listen to local favorite, the Jay McDonnell Duo for the Saturday T-Bar Music Series. The music starts at 4PM and goes until 7PM.
For all you wine enthusiasts, The Winery of Ellicottville will be at the T-Bar doing a tasting for the 21+ crowd.
CABIN FEVER
February 3 & March 19, 2026.
Escape to the slopes with an incredible deal! Cabin Fever vouchers can be purchased 2 weeks prior to each date at select ski and snowboard shops for a discounted price of $25.99 for an 8-hour lift ticket that is valid on February 3 or March 19, 2026.
BARREL JAM
Due to the temperatures in the forecast, Barrel Jam will be moving inside of the 42 North building, which means there will not be an outdoor Rail Jam, but Holiday Valley will have a team on-site to hand out some gear and support the event!
