10 Reasons to Visit Chautauqua County This Winter

Friday, December 14th, 2012 at 9:51am. 210 Views, 0 Comments.

Chautauqua County sits directly in the path of lake effect snow storms that gather strength over Lake Erie and drop more than 200 inches of snow annually.

This pocket of precipitation is precisely why winter is a perfect time to plan a visit.

With annual snowfall that rivals Colorado ski towns, southwestern New York offers plenty of opportunity for downhill snow sports. Near Findley Lake, the Peek’n Peak Resort and Spa provides an excellent backdrop for true beginners all the way to expert level skiers and snowboarders with 27 slopes, eight chairlifts, three progression terrain parks and a halfpipe. There’s even a tubing…

"It became a passion," he said. Restoring the boats is a passion he shares with his family.

Twenty-six years ago, in fact, he asked his wife to marry him ... on the boat that he said will some day belong to his daughter, who shares his passion for working and riding on the vessel, along with traveling to boat shows with her father.
