‘What Rocks EVL?’ Archives
A Special E Fects Thank You
I guess it was about 2 months ago when I saw a post on Facebook that was asking if anyone was interested in writing for the Special E Fects News Paper here in Ellicottville. Before I even had time to think about what I was getting myself into, I sent a reply to make my contribution of literary work available to them. I really had no writing skills [...]
Friends and Sponsors Rock EVL
Well it won't be long now...with warmer temps, blazing sunshine and the occasional rainfall, our winter playgrounds will once again disappear and leave us wanting more. Everyday that passes now brings us less area to roam on our skis and boards, so hurry up and get a few more runs in before it all slips away. Some of us will spend the summer here [...]
Birthdays ROCK EVL
It seems to me that my thirst for life is larger than the glass I drink from, and this past weekend had me burning the candle at both ends. I celebrated a birthday last Saturday and once again you people have proved to me that "This Place Rocks." I want to thank all of you that made it such a GREAT day for me. With all that went on and all the [...]
“This Place Rocks”
Well here it is, just a few days away from March, and I for one think the season is going by faster than most of us can find our way to the bottom of the hill. With the Winter Olympics happening this year, it's no wonder there are so many people returning to outdoor winter sports. Skiers, boarders, bladers, cross-country and snowshoers have come [...]
The Back Room Lunch Bunch
The Back Room Lunch Bunch Sometimes the people you ski with can be more fun than the skiing itself. The 08-09 ski season was my first year as a Holiday Valley season pass holder so I had to learn the ropes when it came to the routine: where to park, where to get ready, where to spend time warming up and so on. One day, early in the season, I [...]
Charles Coolidge Rocks EVL
CC Rocks EVL In today's day and age just mentioning the word politician can get almost anyone seeing some shade of red. It's as though most politicians either do not listen to what we are saying, or they just don't care what we think as voters. Personally, I don't believe in any one party and consider myself a "Realest." But there is one [...]
James Czora
James Czora Wouldn't it be nice to be able to look into a crystal ball and see the future of Ellicottville? Well, we all know that's not possible, but there is a way to gain some in site as to what things might be like in our future. Whether we like it or not, 25 years from now, our town will most likely be controlled by the now [...]
Jonnys Barbershop
Jonnys Barbershop ROCKS EVL Besides skiing and taking photos for evlrocks.com, I do have a real life. And when real life sets in, I'm back to the daily grind of the 40 hour work week. Off to "make the donuts" so to speak, and no, I don't really make donuts for a living. I have been the owner / operator of a Barbershop in Buffalo, NY for the [...]

Service Rocks!
When you come to a destination such as Ellicottville, or any other resort location you might visit, you are generally there to enjoy yourself and get away from the pressures of daily life; a vacation away from having to do for others and letting others do for you. What a great way to "unwind your mind" for a bit and live the good life. So you pack [...]
