Filling up before returning to Rochester makes the trip less expensive. We often take route 219 to Buffalo, NY, as a way home so that we can stop at a Greek diner for dinner. The open faced souvlaki platter served in Buffalo and Clarence is not available in Rochester and is well worth the detour. Our favorite diner is Spilios in Clarence on route 20 north of the NYS Thruway. Route 20A, Varysburg, NY 14167.
Ski rentals are also available for a modest fee.
Food and lodging are also available. Call Byrncliff to find out if they are offering any specials on combinations of trail fees and dinners. Because of its geographic location, Byrncliff receives lake effect snow from Lake Erie. Even when conditions are poor in Rochester or Buffalo, call Byrncliff and ask about their ski conditions. As a side trip, visit the town of East Aurora.
