It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The kids (and hopefully adults!) are off until 2018, and it’s time to celebrate the season with endless fun over this holiday break. Hit the slopes! Holiday Valley is open and in full swing. Choose from numerous lifts and slopes, warm up in the lodge, then head back out and do it all over again. HV offers other ways to enjoy downhill if you want a break from the skis or snowboard. Both the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster and the tubing park just opened for the winter season. Guests can enjoy endless winter fun and over $3 million in improvements, including an automated snowmaking system, a Magic Carpet lift in the beginner’s area, new trails, and an all-new Cindy’s Warming Hut and Mistletoe Lean To. Check out www.holidayvalley. com for the latest updates and snow reports. All the fun of tubing without any of the work, Holiday Valley Tubing Company has up to 22 lanes, each 900 feet long with a drop of 100 feet. Some lanes are single width, while others are wider group lanes to allow for linking up with friends. Head out of the ticket center, grab a tube and line up. When you get to the front of the line, just sit down in your tube and catch a ride up on one of two handle tows (the dismount from the tow is also pretty cool!) Choose your lane, wait for the attendant to give you the go-ahead, then ready, set, go! Race your friends and other tubers to the bottom and see who gets the farthest on the track. The tubing park will be open
Merry Christmas Break!

Since being introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1988 Calgary Olympics, freestyle skiing has grown in popularity. Today, the Olympic events that fall under the discipline include aerials, halfpipe, moguls, ski cross and slopestyle for both men and women. The sport in general can be described as a combination of speed, showmanship and the ability to perform See FLITE Team page A4
