The Inn Spa
Small resort spa at the Inn at Holiday Valley. Book the post-riding deep-tissue — your legs will thank you.

I live here. I know these places well enough to tell you which ones are worth it and which ones aren't. No commissions, no affiliates — just honest picks. Book your trip around these.

Off the mountain
Rest days & rainy days
If the weather's soft, the board's off for a day, or you've got non-riding family along, here's what's nearby.
Ellicottville Brewing Co.
Walk-up tasting flights. Kids welcome. The IPA is legit.
Holiday Valley Tubing Park
If someone in the group isn't riding, send them here. Two-hour sessions, great for non-riders and younger kids.
Washington Street walk
Compact downtown, ten-minute loop. Gear shops, candy, candles, used books. Good for an hour between lunch and dinner.
Allegany State Park
40 minutes south. Snowshoeing, Nordic trails, frozen lakes. A good rest-day if the sun pops out.
Night skiing at HV
Mon–Sat until 10 PM. If you're on a multi-day and want a chill lap after dinner, I can run a 1-hour night session.
