Last weekend, my family and some other family friends drove down to Ellicottville in the U.S. Since our schools had the Friday off we were able to stay for two nights. When we arrived at the place we were staying at, the driveway was at an incline so our van couldn’t go all the way down. Since we had four cars with us we were able to bring a lot of things. We also bought some groceries from a nearby Walmart earlier. It took a while to bring everything in, but eventually, we were able to go in and look around the house. The house we were staying at has pretty big and had enough space and rooms for everyone. Besides where I slept I probably spent the most time in the basement because one of the families brought their Nintendo Switch. We also found a table tennis set and an air hockey table to use. There were usually a few people down in the basement when we weren’t skiing, but the main part of the trip was to ski.
We went skiing at a ski resort called Holiday Valley where we usually go to when we go to Ellicottville. The resort has a lot of trails and lifts to go on as well. For the most part, we didn’t go on too many difficult runs and we only had a couple of falls considering there were eleven of us skiing. Besides the normal slopes, we also did a little bit of cross-country skiing and through the trees. Cross-country skiing was the most tiring and boring part of the skiing, but skiing through the woods was probably the most fun since there were lots of turns and bumps. Compared to cross-country skiing which is just skating and pushing it was way better.
While we were there we also bought some things from outlet malls like jackets and shoes. I had a lot of fun while in Ellicottville and I’m pretty sure we’ll go back within the next few years. However, the only complaint that came after was that my shins hurt a little, but it wasn’t that bad.
