Where are you skiing this week?

It's an age old theme, certainly older than NYSB.

What I say on this topic, without any judgement:

If Gore was 50 miles west, it would be Killington.

Could you imagine the snowfall totals if there was a 2000 foot tall mountain range right there? Heck, just 1500 ft. or even just 1000 foot tall mini range would get hammered.

If there was 2K ft of vert at Holiday Valley it would be one of the best ski areas in the country. They have also first rate lodges. The town of Ellicottville also has some of the best apres ski of anywhere.

I try to tell people that Ellicottville is in the top 5 ski towns in the northeast & they don’t believe me.

They don't believe you because they've never been there. While I've only skied 3 big mountains in the east; Killington, Gore and Sugarbush, with Gore having basically no town apres, Killington and Sugarbush areas don't even come close to EVL. To me EVL is like a smaller Saratoga but with two ski areas 5 mins from town. Also what's always surprised me about EVL is how most any weekend in the summer and fall and the town rocking with night life. I have the hangovers to prove it :)
 
As of now, it's going to be Whiteface on Saturday, Killington on Sunday. Sno returns to ORDA! My skis are in a shop near Killington for tuning, so I'll be on my snowboard at Whiteface, and that's the reason I need to go to Killington on Sunday.
