GOING SKI CLUBBIN’: AN ECS TRADITION By Louisa Benatovich Student Reporter
Skiing is an Ellicottville institution, plain and simple. It is the fuel on which our town runs. It’s the air we breathe. Many Ellicottville Central School students proclaim that they learned to ski before they could walk. Almost all snow athletes at ECS trace their snow roots back to one event in their scholastic career: Ski Club. Winter wouldn’t be winter without the weekly “Ski club — meet in the cafeteria after school” announcements.
