Our ski trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming from March 15-22 was an unforgettable experience. We were a group of 33 travelers, with many new faces joining us for the adventure. The Forty-niner Inn in Jackson was our gracious host, welcoming us with a fabulous party to kick off our stay. One of the highlights of our experiences was a delightful Elk BBQ on St. Patrick’s Day. In addition, we enjoyed six days of snowy conditions, perfect for skiing and boarding enthusiasts.  Overall, the ski trip was filled with exciting activities, camaraderie, a visit from ELVIS and the joy of exploring the beautiful landscapes of Jackson Hole.

This year, our much-anticipated ski trip saw 31 excited attendees, all ready to embrace the thrills and chills of the snowy slopes. Despite the unexpected rainy weather, the trip turned out to be a memorable adventure, filled with laughter, camaraderie, and delightful surprises.  Each room was well-appointed, offering stunning views of the snow-covered landscape and facing the Sunrise lift with true Ski-in Ski-out.  Armed with waterproof gear and boundless enthusiasm, everyone took to the slopes, from beginners to seasoned skiers and boarders. The resort's trails catered to all skill levels, ensuring a fun and exhilarating experience for all.  Holiday Valley Inn, with its charm and hospitality, proved to be the perfect setting for an unforgettable ski trip. Until next time, Ellicottville!

Our second "Early Season" Ski Trip proved to be another great success.  We traveled in December to Copper Mountain, where we found the resort over 50% open and covered with fresh snow.  We skied three delightful days in bright sunshine and bluebird skies and one cloudy day with fresh-fallen powder. Our hotel was within walking distance to the Center Village and the slopes, and offered all the amenities skiers could want.

A great start to what we hope will be a wonderful season!

Peek 'N Peak "Learn to Ski Day" has become a favorite among local ski club members.  It is an opportunity to introduce family and friends to the wonderful world of snow sports.  Hosted by the Youngstown Ski Club in partnership with the Warren Ski Club, it is a delightful day of fun and excitement for the novice skier as well as a warm-up for the experienced.  With a private room to dress, fabulous hot lunch, lift ticket and optional lesson, this wonderful day is  enhanced by the friends we make who add to the enjoyment.

Hope to see you next year!

Joint Snowshoe Mt. Trip with Youngstown Ski Club

Our club trip February 10 to 13 with the Youngstown Ski Club was a huge success.  We stayed at condos on the top of the mountain, where we enjoyed wonderful accomodations, including a large hot tub for post-ski relaxation.  Club members skied three days on freshly-fallen snow, taking the opportunity to explore all of the resort's varied terrain.  After skiing we shared evening potluck meals and drinks, met new friends, and rekindled friendships with old ones.  A wonderful midweek trip on the slopes!

For the 23 members of the WSC who attended, the trip to Zermatt, Switzerland and Majorca, Spain, went off without a hitch. Travelers enjoyed a quaint ski town for shopping and exploration as well as great weather and fabulous conditions on the Alpine slopes.  Following our week of skiing, club members were treated to a restful three days during which we explored the towns and beaches on the island of Majorca.
