The cold spring temps and slowly melting snow means good news for skiers and snowboarders— Holiday Valley will be open Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14. According to Holiday Valley’s Marketing Director, Jane Eshbaugh, the Yodeler chair will be running, giving guests access to about 10 slopes. Tickets will be $35.
