OK if you're going to add places you stopped in for beers then my list needs major revisions. :devilish:

I want to ski Holimont, Hunt Hollow and of course Holiday Valley.

Great post.
Thanks Harvey! Here's a suggestion--- combine a trip to Holimont and HV. They are literally less than 10 mins from each other. You'd need to ski Holimont on a weekday when it's open to the public unless you're the guest of a member. Both are only 750 vert but have some really good runs. The best part of Holimont is the superb grooming, very relaxed environment, no crowds and plenty of lifts including 1 high speed. Holiday Valley is bigger and while much busier I've found the crowds spread out nicely even on busy days. If you're into apres ski then Ellicottville is a fantastic town with great night life (outside of covid).
 
Here's a suggestion--- combine

It's certainly in the plan, but this year the combining/overnight is the preventer. I know @Stu has been absolutely killing it doing two areas in a day. He may have 20 new ski areas by the weekend.

I'm only going overnight at our place in NY. Everything else is a day trip or based at our place in the Adks, OR on the way there. Plattekill mostly, but others are possible. Royal would barely add 30 minutes to my total drive time.

Next year I'll definitely combine, and in three years I'm doing a NY trip in a ski truck camper.
 
Great list.



Any photos? Would love a front page piece on it!
I was probably about 13 or 14 when I was there (a long time ago!) and don't really remember it very well, other than the oddity of the lodge and parking lot being at the TOP of the ski area!! I certainly don't have any pictures.

Big Vanilla... My first place ever. I was 13. Hated it..Couldn't get down without wiping out. It was snowing hard. I remember climbing back up to give back the skis and boots..Feet were bleeding. 43 years ago.
