SKIDATA Partners With Holiday Valley To Deliver Seamless RFID Access Experience

KIDATA announced a new partnership with Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville, New York. Beginning this winter, Holiday Valley guests will benefit from SKIDATA’s advanced RFID-based ticketing and access system, designed to streamline the mountain experience and elevate guest satisfaction.

Holiday Valley is Western New York’s largest year ‘round resort featuring 60 slopes and trails, 13 lifts, 3 base lodges, slope side lodging and dining, conference facilities, an 18- hole golf course, a tree top aerial adventure park, a mountain coaster, and a summer pool complex.  Ellicottville is located on Route 219, just 50 miles (90 kms) south of Buffalo and less than three hours from Cleveland and Toronto.

The resort will deploy SKIDATA’s RFID ticket and pass scanners, award-winning sMove Wave access gates, and ticket pickup kiosks, providing skiers and snowboarders with faster, smoother, and more secure access to the slopes. These innovations will reduce wait times, improve data integrity, and enhance fraud protection—ensuring that guests spend more time enjoying the mountain and less time in line.

Holiday Valley has offered RFID ticketing in recent seasons and made the strategic decision this summer to transition to SKIDATA’s platform to improve reliability and scanning performance. This move places Holiday Valley among a growing group of world-class resorts leveraging SKIDATA’s technology to deliver a frictionless guest experience.
