What’s Happening Fall Fest Weekend at HoliMont Resort
The Ellicottville Fall Festival provides visitors with a range of activities on and off the slopes. Taking place October 12-13, 2024, it’s a great opportunity to get outside and take in the fresh air and fall foliage. Let’s see what HoliMont has in store for the weekend.
FREE RIDES UP EXPO @ HOLIMONT
HoliMont invites the public to take in the fall colors with a chairlift ride up their Exhibition lift. Follow the signs to the HoliMont chalet from their entrance on Route 242 (west of the village). Expo lift will run Saturday only from 11:00am-4:00pm. FREE!
Planning on hitting up the village and need a place to park? The HoliMont team will open up the Plum Creek parking lot for a fee, with all monies raised to benefit their snowsports programs.
LIFT ACCESS BIKE PARK
For downhill MTB enthusiasts, Fall Festival will be the last weekend of the season for lift access mountain biking at HoliMont. (Not to worry, all you diehards can still get your hearts pumping after Fall Fest; you’ll just have to pedal your way to the top!)
The HoliMont Bike Park at Susnet Lift will operate this Friday from noon-6:30pm, and Saturday/Sunday, from 10:00am-4:30pm. No matter your experience level, they have beginner trails and expert terrain to fit our adventure style. Buy passes and view the Bike Park brochure at holimont.com.
