At least six inches of snow has fallen at some ski areas including Holiday Valley Ski Resort in Ellicottville. It's not enough to open slopes yet since the ground is still too warm and temperatures next week should increase into the 50s which will prevent any snow making. But conditions look favorable for making snow soon and the ski season could start two weeks early. "The week of November 19th... we may be ...

Sure, the rolling hills don't qualify as mountains. And yes, an "upscale" trailer park exists where one would normally find cabins and chalets. But Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY. Skiers come from Ohio, Canada, Pennsylvania and other parts of New York to take advantage of the one decent place to ski near the Great Lakes. The resort, located about 45 minutes south of Buffalo, offers 56 slopes and 13 lifts, a snowmaking and grooming system that comes in handy in these warming winters and a network of base lodges and hotels. Adjacent is the clumsy man's version of a ski resort, The Holiday Valley Tubing Park. In preparation for the 2007-2008 season, the complex underwent $2.9 million worth of improveme...

If you see not a soul on a Sunday on the winding, two-lane road from Wattsburg into New York state, don't be fooled.They're all at the DV, I swear.The DV is the Dutch Village restaurant in Clymer, N.Y.That's a cozy warren of rooms where you can't help but get caught up in the swell of neighborly chatter as you pile a breakfast plate with pancakes from the buffet and bathe steaming slabs of French toast with syrup.Where voices and laughter shoot over your head in the booth as you linger over coffee and listen in on chitchat between sisters and cousins who live just up the road.Where you contemplate helping yourself to another hunk of apple crisp -- something to savor as you ogle the crafts, toys and holiday tchotchkes that spill out along the walls from the jam-packed gift shop.Where the warm-ups keep coming.The day seems full of possibility.And your only concern is to decide which chubby loaves of fresh bread from the bakery case you'll take home when you leave.And when all of...

Holiday Valley & Peek'n Peak
2007-11-04 14:59:00
Western New York State, Holiday Valley near Ellicottville, N.Y., invested almost $3 million on a new quad lift that will open three new trails to skiers who made the haul north. The lift will serve three new trails.   Nearby Peek'n Peak Resort and Spa near Findley Lake, N.Y., is gearing up for its "Trail of Lights" festival, which features a light display at the slopes from Nov. 23 through Dec. 23. Peak'n'Peek spokesman Chip Day says the resort, which recently launched a new $2 million spa, has extensive snowmaking capabilities. But local residents say this year's warm weather could trigger major lake-effect snows.   "(Lake Erie) has been really warm this year, so once the weather cools off the lake effect should kick in with snow," Day says.   For more information on Chautauqua Lake Real Estate & Living visit: www.chautauqualakehomes.com  Chautauqua Lake, NY Real Estate Services Informed, real estate information for buyers and sellers in Lak...

Greystone Nature Preserve Off And Running By Alpha Husted, editorial@post-journal.com  County Executive Gregory Edwards, accompanied by his son, Bronson, opened a celebration marking two special anniversaries for Greystone Nature Preserve owners, Bill Moran and Diane Clark, shown with another visitor, left, Kay Barlow of Fredonia. 10/29/2007 - For Bill Moran and Diane Clark, nature is their thing. So, when torrents of rain recently threatened to halt an open house celebration there were no moans or groans. The couple simply moved the affair from lawn to garage, while the rain did what it is supposed to do — water gardens and fields. The big event marked their wedding anniversary, and their adoption just a year ago, of an area of Bear Lake Road which establishes the pair as the official litter removers along that segment of the town of Pomfret's two-lane route.

Sauntering through scenic Chautauqua County By CARL FRANCIS PENDERS 10/13/2007 - For years I've avoided the thruway and enjoyed Route 20's splendor on numerous trips to Chautauqua Institution. And though there are many, I have never stopped to enjoy its villages' charms — the kind the Kinks' Ray Davies sings of in ''Victoria,'' ''stately homes for the lords, croquet lawns, village greens ... Victoria was my queen. Land of hope and Gloria. Land of my Victoria.'' While she may have been Davies queen, Victoria is definitely king in this country. And it was time to get out of the car and experience some of this royalty in a not exactly regal way — on foot.First up was Silver Creek, where the sugar sweet smell from Petri Baking Products filled the air of its village green. The Capello Arms, circa 1878, was the most notable home on Main Street, and the scenic view of Lake Erie is visible at both Jackson Street and Lake Avenue at road's end and lake's shore.

Bugs Help To Kill Weeds By Dennis Phillips dphillips@post-journal.com 9/20/2007 - LAKEWOOD — Moths and weevils are the new allies for county residents working to destroy the invasive weed Eurasian milfoil in Chautauqua Lake . On Wednesday, Bob Johnston, Cornell University professor, gave the Chautauqua Lake Association its 2006-07 lake report at the Bemus Point Casino. Johnston said Cornell is in its fifth year of a multi-year contract with the CLA analyzing the lake. Johnston reported on Cornell's study of insect population on milfoil. The professor said aquatic moths and weevils were added to Burtis Bay in 2002 to see how it would effect the invasive weed. From 14 different stations, Cornell has discovered the insects are having a positive effect on milfoil. ''We have seen a lot of damage to milfoil,'' he said.
