Fat Bikes in Allegany- Maybe you have seen them or heard them rolling along the trails. Fat bikes are off road bikes with big tires typically 3.8 in (97 mm) or wider. They are designed for low pressure to allow riding on soft, unstable terrain, such as snow, sand, bogs and mud. Thanks to a grant from New York State, the Environmental Educational and Recreation Department will have a few available to demo during Fat Bike rides on select Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter. For more information call the Environmental Education Dept at 716- 354-9101 ext 232

ELLICOTTVILLE, NY - Holiday Valley’s President and General Manager, Dennis Eshbaugh announced that the resort will open for its 61st season on Friday, November 23, 2018. According to Eshbaugh, “It's the most exciting time of the year, a day that we plan for starting on closing day of the season before. Our snowmakers and groomers have been hard at work prepping the slopes. We've made over 65 acre feet of snow so far, with more to come.”

Eshbaugh credits the powerful and efficient HDK automated snowmaking system for producing this large amount of manmade snow in a short amount of time. Holiday Valley has the largest HKD automated snowmaking system in the Eastern U.S. Natural snowfall has been plentiful over the past week and a half, with more than 14 inches that created a beautiful snowy scene and blended with the manmade snow for an average base depth of 6 to 18 inches.

Four quad chairlifts: Yodeler, Mardi Gras, Tannenbaum and Creekside will operate from 9AM to 10PM on Friday, and then 8:30AM to 10:00PM on Saturday and Sunday. Nine slopes and trails: Yodeler, Edelweiss, Mardi Gras, Candy Cane Loop, Crystal, Tannenbaum, Ballet, School Haus West and the Rail Park will be open, with the possibility of additional slopes depending on current snowmaking. This list of slopes includes all levels of difficulty from Easier (green circles) to Most Difficult (black diamonds). The resort will continue to make snow to allow more slopes to open soon, with the goal of opening all 60 slopes and 13 lifts by mid-December. Ticket prices for Friday through the weekend will be $65 adults for 8 hours, $59 for 4 hours and $35 for nights starting at 3:30PM. Junior rates are $53/$47/$29.
