Winter Break in Ellicottville

Last weekend my family and I went to Ellicottville, New York for a little ski trip. Ellicottville is absolutely beautiful. This is the third time my family has come here, so I guess you could say we love it. My dad would be outside waiting for the chair lifts to start, me... not so much. I enjoy my sleep when on vacation. Isn't that pretty much the point of winter break? But, compared to any ski hill where I live, this place is huge and the view from the top is breathtaking.
 

      



 
Skiing through the trees with my brother was interesting to say the least. I almost ran into every tree possible. Whereas he just flew through.

 
 

Snow really makes everything so much prettier.

 
This is really cool. It's a course that is obviously open in the summer but, you get strapped in and monkey through the trees on platforms. I really wish we could have done it.



There is a quaint little town just a few minutes away from the hill that we decided to go out and explore. It is full of family restaurants, ski shops, and fairy lights which made everything so wintery and festive. We ended up going to an Italian family restaurant where I got the best cannelloni known to man kind. After that we ventured into a chocolate shop where my mom and I were in heaven.


After a night out on the town, we went back to the lodge and had to start packing our things. The next morning we left for our 5 hour journey home. Of course the day we leave there is a blizzard, but it wasn't so bad because when we got home everything was just as snowy as it was in Ellicottville.
 
Bye friends, xx
