Holiday Valley in January
Learn to love winter with discounted learn-to-ski or snowboard packages
A new year is nearly upon us, and so as the final days of 2021 quickly culminate, fans of Ellicottville find themselves focused on thoughts of colder days filled with lake effect snowstorms, freshly groomed corduroy and making turns with family and friends.
Holiday Valley has a number of activities on the calendar for you to look forward to in the New Year. The Holiday Valley Snowsports School is spearheading initiatives geared towards both learning to ski and snowboard as well as improving on those skills.
January is Learn a Snowsport Month: From January 2-31, 2022, half priced Learn-to-Ski or Snowboard packages for ages 12 and up are just $38.50 during the day or $30.50 at night. Learn-to-ski or learn-to-snowboard packages include a beginner lesson, beginner area lift ticket and rental equipment. Register at Creekside Lodge during the day or at the Rental Shop at night. Daytime lessons (ages 12+) are at 10:30am and 1:30pm (it’s advised that you arrive at least a half hour early to give yourself time to get your equipment) and nighttime lessons are at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30pm. If you have always wanted to take up skiing or snowboarding, this is the perfect budget-friendly way to begin that also allows you some excellent instruction from some of Holiday Valley’s best snowsports coaches.
Learn to Love Winter Day: If you’re going to live in an area where winter takes up a significant portion of the calendar year, it’s best that you find ways to enjoy being outdoors during that time period. On Friday, January 7th, cultivate a love of winter by learning to ski or snowboard for only $25! The Beginner’s Package includes: beginner’s lesson, beginner’s lift ticket and rental equipment for skiing or snowboarding. Bring your friend, your significant other or your children - skiing and snowboarding are twice as fun when you have a buddy! And if you’re already a skier or rider, Holiday Valley encourages you to introduce a friend and change their life! Ages 3 and up. Lessons at 10:30am and 1:30pm.
Your Turn Women’s Clinic: This 2-day clinic (January 20th-21st) is perfect for the intermediate to advanced level woman skier who wants to have more control, more confidence and more fun with their skiing. Lisa Ballard is a respected coach and former US Ski Team member who has a unique way of presenting the technical aspects of good skiing in a concise and easy to understand method. Lisa and several of Holiday Valley’s women instructors will lead the groups through free skiing, drills, non-intimidating race training and video analysis. Women’s ski demos are included. Registration is limited, don’t be disappointed! Discounted lift tickets and lodging packages are available through holidayvalley.com.
Canadian Friendship Week: As we continue to welcome our friends from north of the border back to Ellicottville, Holiday Valley is bringing back Canadian Friendship Week. From January 3-7, 2022, lift tickets and rental equipment are offered at Par for Canadian cash. Get more details at www.holidayvalley.com or call Resort Services at 716-699-2345.
