And Ellicottville is so popular that it is known as the "Aspen of the East" because of its village charm that dates back to the 19th century. Full of historic landmarks and unique shops and restaurants, Ellicottville is a quaint town. In addition to skiing, tourists can golf, mountain bike and even go horseback riding during the right time of year.

Both of these areas are excellent choices for a New York ski getaway. Find the perfect accommodations, pack up your car or board a plane and come on out to Cattaraugus County for some winter wonderland fun. Don't forget to make reservations before you come!
