Holiday Valley is a great place to ski if you live in the Buffalo,. NY area. The resort does a great job at creating a fun place to ski by squeezing as much use as possible out of the limited space and virtical drops they have to work with. What Holiday Valley needs to work on is grooming and enforcing safety. Trails are often sloppy with piles of snow and uneven terrain. On warm days the terrain smooths out but large patches of ice start to become an issue. Enforcement of safety needs to be stepped up as there has been an increase in collisions and close calls due to some skiers/snowboarders bombing down intermediate and beginner slopes at unsafe speeds. These issues detract from what could be a great on piste experience. Holiday Mountain Ops if you are reading this please consider grooming the trails more regularly and if possible shut down some of the high traffic slopes mid day to reset and lay some fresh corduroy. Maybe around 3pm right before day skiing switches to night skiing.
