All-Season TRIAL membership

Start for a Season.
Stay for a Lifetime.

Private trails. No crowds. Year-round perks. Trial Membership lets you experience everything HoliMont offers for one full season—so you can decide if it’s the right fit for your family.

Feel Like Family, Not a Guest

Skip the lift lines, park like a member, and enjoy a more relaxed, more personal mountain experience.

Skiing is just the start.

From après mixers to mountain biking trails, HoliMont is built for year-round connection and outdoor adventure.

Most Members Start Right Here

Over half of our Full Members began with a Trial. There’s no better way to see if HoliMont feels like home.

Skiing shouldn’t feel like a chore.

Most ski resorts are crowded, chaotic, and expensive. You spend more time parking and waiting than skiing. And forget about letting your kids roam free.

That’s not how winter should feel.

A life-time of Adventure Awaits

At HoliMont You're Not a Guest.
You Belong.

We’re North America’s largest private ski area, tucked in the hills of Ellicottville, NY. For over 60 years, HoliMont has been a second home for families who care about connection, tradition, and time well spent outside.

Trial Membership gives you everything our Full Members enjoy—so you can start with a season, and stay for the memories. It’s your season to belong.

Why Trial Membership?

Trial Membership lets you experience everything HoliMont offers—private skiing, year-round perks, and a welcoming member community— for an entire year before to see if its the right fit for your family.

Full Member Access Without the Commitment

Trial Members enjoy the exact same on-mountain access, events, parking, and privileges as Full Members—without paying the initiation fee or making a long-term decision upfront. Join for the entire season and know that your investment is one made for generations.

A Warm, Family-Focused Community

From member mixers to kids’ programs, HoliMont feels more like a club than a resort. People remember your name. Your kids find ski buddies. You might even get invited to a bonfire or a birthday party.

Private Slopes, No Crowds

As a member-only mountain, HoliMont offers wide-open runs, zero lift lines, and a more relaxed pace than public resorts. Your season feels less like a battle and more like a retreat.

HoliMont is open to the public Monday-Friday, with members and guests only Saturday and Sunday
