1/29/2007 - FINDLEY LAKE — Patronage at Peek’n Peak Resort and Conference Center increased dramatically in the last week with the arrival of winter’s white stuff.
‘‘It’s unbelievable. The people are here,’’ said Chip Day, Peek’n Peak’s vice president of brand management. ‘‘Attendance has increased dramatically. We set records last weekend and everything is now open, all of our lifts are open and the tubing arena is going to open up this Saturday.’’
Peek’n Peak is nestled in the southern tier of Western New York, delighting guests in the boundless beauty of the Chautauqua County region. Ever since the opening of Peek’n Peak in 1964, families, friends, businesses and corporations have enjoyed this quaint European-style village, complete with Tudor architecture.
Its prestigious RCI Gold Crown rating is duly appreciated with the diverse amenities that accompany a full-service, four season resort.

It’s prestigious RCI Gold Crown rating is duly appreciated with the diverse amenities that accompany a full-service, four season resort.
‘‘Along with our parks, our halfpipe will be opening at the beginning of next week,’’ Day said. ‘‘It’s really the full court press. We’re sprinting now.’’
Just a few short weeks ago, Peek’n Peak and other area ski resorts were feeling the hurt of a green Christmas. With warm weather, attendance was down despite businesses’ best efforts to attract patrons.
The recent $2 million snowmaking expansion at Peek’n Peak did allow for several slopes to stay operational during the holiday, but nothing beats full-blown winter. The new tower guns added to the resort can produce 2,300 gallons of water per minute — making for white trails.
‘‘We were fortunate enough to have a 12-hour opportunity to make snow, which started Christmas Eve and went until 6 a.m. on Christmas,’’ Day said previously. ‘‘That let us maintain our seven slopes.’’
