The Village

Two mountains, one walkable town

Ski or ride by day, then walk to coffee, dinner, and a fresh treat downtown. The village is what turns a day on the hill into a whole weekend.

Fuel Up

Before the trail, after the trail

Every good adventure day needs a base camp in town. These two are our picks to fuel up before you head out and refuel when you roll back in.

Coffee & a real breakfast

Fuel up before an alpine start. Grab coffee and a hot plate before first chair at Holiday Valley or a morning lap in the state forest, then roll out the door and into your day.
