This is the latest in the season Holiday Valley has ever had this many guns running, and the conditions have been reported as "great" currently.

Holiday Valley called on Gordon Santry of HKD Snowmakers to discuss snowmaking at Holiday Valley, as the team is making "one final push."

Santry, enthused, tells viewers, "we have the temperatures, we've got a little natural snow."

"We want to make sure anybody who comes to Holiday Valley knows that we're doing everything we can to make sure we have the best possible snow product for all you skiers and riders." With over 100 snowmaking guns, Holiday Valley is definitely ensuring the best snow possible.

At the resort, it is currently a chilly 26 degrees, and the resort has received 83 inches of snow so far this season. They have received 2 inches naturally in the past 48 hours.

While night skiing is no longer being offered at the resort, Yodeler lift spins from 12-4PM today.
