Snow in the Finger Lakes

The snow is here. Bristol Mountain is making snow hoping to open early next week. Great skiing can be found there with a 1200' vertical rise--there's even cross-country at the summit with miles of lighted trails. Check it out www.bristolmountain.com. There's a webcam on the site as well so you can actually see how much snow there is or if its even snowing! Relax in the evening after your day of skiing at one of the many lodging properties and enjoy some great local cuisine and wine. You can stop at any of the wineries along the Canandaigua Wine Trail on your way to Bristol Mountain to pick up your evening dining wines. www.Canandaiguawinetrail.com or www.VisitFingerLakes.com. Bundle up and get outdoors in the Finger Lakes this winter--there's lots to do.

Cool Finger Lakes Morning

Bet you thought I was lost. Actually no, I was away for awhile visiting my granddaughter near Savannah Georgia and enjoying the wonderfully mild weather. Now here I am back in the Finger Lakes sitting at work on a cold, but sunny Monday. Weather is calling for snow later today guess we can't be fussy with such a nice fall. Heading towards Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday is hard to believe. There's a ton of great events for the holidays, Festival of Trees at Granger Homestead in Canandaigua, Santa is arriving just about everywhere for the kids and shopping couldnt' be better -- you can find a really unique handmade gift for everyone on your list at many local Finger Lakes stores. Check out www.VisitFingerLakes.com for events and for shopping. And once the snow arrives skiiers can head for Bristol Mountain, www.BristolMountain.com .
