Overall, Hidden Valley is a modestly sized ski resort the Laurel Highlands that makes a great spot for those looking to learn or others who simply want a more relaxed experience on the slopes. That being said, during our visits we often tend to see the pub open at much wider hours than the cafe, so it is possible dining options may be somewhat limited here depending on when you visit. Upstairs from the pub is Sunrise Sunset Cafe, featuring a bit more of a grab-and-go style menu with additional items of burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and more. The main restaurant we frequent when visiting Hidden Valley is Glaciers Pub- a modest on-site bar and grill featuring simple sandwiches, wraps, soup, salads, and a bar menu just steps from the slopes with a great view. Going beyond the slopes at Hidden Valley, the property has a few modest on-site amenities worth knowing about- particularly around food. Most Laurel Highlands resorts offer a slight discount for booking early, which also ensures access as the resorts can and do hit capacity at peak times (particularly weekends and holidays)!

Note: Much like reserving a daily rental in advance saves money, it is worth booking your lift tickets in advance if you don't have a season pass. This means those who visit area resorts roughly four to five times start getting a discount via a seasonal rental.

Seven Springs was approximately $5 more expensive for both day rentals (without a seasonal option), and Laurel Mountain was the same as Hidden Valley (again, without a seasonal option). To give an example of why this is important, during the 2023 season Hidden Valley's rental rates were $53 online and $58 walkup, whereas seasonal rentals were just $220 for skis, boots, and poles. What you may not know, however, is that Hidden Valley's ski shop also offers seasonal rentals for equipment which is quite the deal for those who plan to make several trips to the area resorts (as I was intending thanks to being an Epic Pass holder from Vail Resorts in 2023). One of my favorite things about Hidden Valley, as far as Laurel Highlands ski resorts are concerned, is that their rental prices and lift tickets are often among the cheapest in the area.
