Holiday Mountain Ski Vacations
Holiday Mountain, located in New York, is a popular area for skiing. Even though the highest elevation is only 1300 feet, and the vertical drop is only 400 feet, this area is a popular place for the younger crowd, and it is definitely a great place to learn how to ski.
There are eight lifts, including three chair lifts and five surface lifts. There are 15 trails for beginners, intermediate skiers, and expert skiers. While skiing and snowboarding are the main attractions, there is much more here as well, including bumper cars, an arcade, and a mechanical bull. There is always something to do at Holiday Mountain Ski Resort.
The Freestyle Terrain Park is still growing. The famous Yellow Slide will return on top of a massive spine on Groff. There is a Short Flat Rail, a Rainbow Rail, a Kinked Rail, and a 40 Foot Long Flat Rail on the steeps of Groff. There are wedge jumps throughout the park. The park is now listed on Black Diamond runs - and all the features are now rated "Orange", the new nationally accepted color indicating "Varied Freestyle Terrain".
If you are a beginner, the Holiday Mountain Ski & Snowboard School offers instruction for young and old alike. There are ski and snowboard lessons designed for individuals or groups.
The best place to stay when visiting Holiday Mountain Ski Resort is the Villa Roma Resort Hotel, which is located in the Sullivan County Catskills. Villa Roma was named as one of America's 50 Best Family Resorts by Better Homes & Garden Magazine, and with the amazing amount of fun activities, it is easy to see why. The resort features a rail park for snowboarders, birthday packages, snow tubing, and of course skiing.
