Typically, the month of March is a celebration of everything green. Here, in the lush greenness of the Allegheny National Forest Region - just 30 minutes south of Ellicottville - we celebrate green every day.

During springtime in the Allegheny National Forest, everything starts to come back to life - the trees start to awaken, songbirds come back to fill the air with music, plus wildflowers and leeks start to peep through the earth. Spring is a great time to be in the ANF Region when residents and visitors alike celebrate the leek - or ramp.

The snow sports industry is tough to figure out. We’re barely three weeks into winter (if you can even call it winter) and local shops are already starting their buying cycles for next season. 

SIA (SnowSports Industries America) is the national medium between companies and buyers. It plans and promotes trade shows where shop owners can go and view each company’s product a year in advance. For the past few years, the regional mid-Atlantic show has been held in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 

None of that fussy turning, this is all about speed! After a day on the slopes, you can top off your fun meter with a trip to the Holiday Valley Tubing Park. Race down one of the eleven 900-foot lanes and experience the exhilaration of tubing. Once you’re at the bottom, we’ll tow you up again for as many runs as you like.
