Tonight’s blog come to you from Ellicottville, in the State of New York. It is a beautiful night here with temps in the 80’s. We are a group of 10 that made our way down today, some by motorcycle, and some with RV’s and trailers.
I am booked in with my old neighbour Jim Crook from Fairview Drive in Gravenhurst. We are staying at the Holiday Valley Inn, which is a ski resort, and a golf resort in the summer. Very nice accommodation.
This is a parking lot view out back…
Here is Jim lining up that perfect shot!
It is a big complex, this is shot outside.
Judy would love this, one of those inside/outside pools…
Kawasaki has a big sign up in the front lobby…
Jim and I had dinner at the hotel restaurant and this was the view we had sitting outside by the pool area…
Our bikes in the parking lot…
OK, so here is a close up…
This big tower is right outside our window, and it is part of the ski chair lift system to get you to the top of the mountain.
This is the front of the hotel where you pull in…
And you all thought that I was the only one with a “fire in a can”…Ha, check this one out in the pool!
They have a large pool area…
Tomorrow is registration day, and we will probably get out and do a bit of biking! Weather looks good for most of the week I think!
Till tomorrow…
I remember Ellicottville & the lodge....but from a winter perspective. As novice ski people, Kelly & I once took a bus/day/ski trip there from Kitchener Ontario. We rode up that long lift & then fell all the way back down the mountain several times. As I said, we were novice skiers & at that point Ellicottville was just a little on the big side for us yet.
ReplyDeleteVery swank accommodations Dad! The only picture I recognize out of the bunch is the chair lift - been there! done that! :) Have fun this week!
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. Judy would love that pool. Starting to wonder why I'm working and you are holidaying! Judy aka Eagle
