You’ve Got Options
Winter is almost among us! Cold temperatures transitioned into 2020’s first snowfall — albeit minimal — but the juices are flowing for skiers and snowboarders everywhere. Weather depending, Holiday Valley’s target opening date is Friday, November 27th (the day after Thanksgiving) and now’s the time to purchase your pass for the year, if you haven’t already done so.
The resort will use guidelines set forth by the New York State Department of Health as well as other ski areas. While the lifts will spin, the resort will take precautions with lift lines, rental, retail, food and beverage and other aspects. You can find all of that information at www.holidayvalley.com. If you purchase a pass and aren’t comfortable using it this season, Holiday Valley is offering a no-questions-asked deferment policy you can take advantage of until November 15th.

Holiday Valley’s projected opening date is Friday, November 27th (weather depending!) and plans to operate as much terrain as the weather will allow. Holiday Valley’s world-class snowmaking system allows them to create snow when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, so fingers crossed for those cold temperatures starting again soon!
