Opening day is tomorrow. Looks like easy trails only though. Message from management to employees: Our 65th ski season starts this Saturday, November 25th thanks to our amazing team out on the hill & of course some cold weather windows. We are once again able to provide the earliest opening in...

There is nothing like night court in a small town in upstate NY for "culture". I contested a speeding ticket a couple of years ago. My "conference" with the DA was out a side door to the "courtroom", on the gravel and grass, in the rain. The DA was a county employee, but everyone else were...

Yes. Beautiful, but ruined for all but the top 0.1%. I live in a place that's gotten like that. Super super expensive homes on land that the middle class used to own. Homes that are now either investment properties occupied by AirBnB short term noisey partiers always on vacation or unoccupied...

sorry deleted.

Anyone in here participating in Greek Peak's glade clearing next Saturday?

I am lucky. I’m retired from deskjob and get to teach skiing all week. Of course I teach on weekends and holidays but since I am available during off peak week days, those are most of my hours… and if nobody shows for that off peak session…. I ski. Note to everyone… take a group lesson at noon...

Fantastic conditions and surprisingly uncrowded. But once again Greek is claiming they don't have enough staff to run all 6 chairs. Maybe they don't, but despite the lack of crowds on the quad, Greek ran Chair 1 (which serves the same terrain as the quad) instead of opening 2, which serves the...

Wednesday the place was empty and the groomed trails were quite nice. The whole hill has a firm base and tonight's 5-8 inches of real white stuff is likely to make tomorrow the nicest day of skiing this year. And if current snow predictions for Monday and Tuesday come true.... the best skiing of...

Update After last year's RV ski trip with our Grand Design Imagine 18RBE I decided to add more insulation under the floor. I did this because the fresh water lines froze at 0 degrees F last winter on our last ski trip west. And while most people will never use a trailer for long when its that...

All in all a beautiful day to ski.... and a very light crowd. Snow is mashed potatoes. IF it gets cold enough tonight the snowmakers will be active again.

Place is empty right now.

Chair 5 is spinning today.

Nice day to ski on man made.

Maybe. Seems like desktops are getting closely examined one by one. Still no public or back office network or Wi-Fi on hill. Greek has bought cellular hotspots for admin staff and you will see different hardware taking credit cards. Older reservation data is accessible to staff. Regular resort...

Today was Ice, Ice, Ice. Things are looking better for tomorrow and Sunday. By 3:00 the snow makers were running everywhere and there was lots of natural snow falling from the sky. Lifts 2,3,4,5 and Visions were all spinning despite the lack of crowds.

Wednesday temps got up to 60s and the snow was soft everywhere, even upper Zeus was soft. Snow is thin on Marathon and Epicurus and gone on East Meadow. No crowds, lots of sun, after school kids and regulars. Visions is running again; the loading carpet has been replaced. Also Chairs 3 and 4 and...

Yesterday was a sweet day to ski with soft snow everywhere, but it sure hardened up once the sun set. There were about 100 5th graders from Athens PA's grade school, most of whom were trying skiing for the first time yesterday morning.... With temps in the mid 40s there were lots of coats piled...

Yesterday was one of the nicest weekend days of teaching and skiing at Greek Peak I've had this winter. I was on the hill at 8:30 and left at 4:30. Despite all 6 chairs running, temperatures in the 40s, a very sunny sky, the crowds stayed home. I guess they were more concerned about getting...

Chair 2 was running yesterday afternoon with no problems. I am told that the lift got some upgrades to the power supply and pony motor and a through inspection from bottom to top. All chairs got bright red new grips in off season, and its running full speed again. It still 60 years old, but the...

that shed burned to the ground remember?
