Great. Fantastic. Staff will be looking forward to the inevitable evac. :mad:

There have been discussions about things like that. A lift on Meadow for beginners. Tows for terrain parks. Another lift on the east slope. All would be nice but are lower priority than improving snow making and lift reliability.

The sign at the bottom of visions says the ramp is going to be replaced the week of Feb 13...... We shall see....!

Was skiing and teaching yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful day and ski conditions were as good as I think we are going to have this year. And even though the cover was thin, it was possible to do some glade skiing. I expect today's warm temps and rain is going to kill all skiing on...

As much as I like to dis the Visions Chair, I have to add a dose of reality. If problematic is defined using the metric of average operating hours between shutdown failures, Visions is not even close. Chair 2 is the clear winner. It gets used the least, and when it does there are now immediate...

How do you make a small fortune in the ski industry? Start with a LARGE fortune. Ba-da-bump And tis so good to be back in the Catskills my friends"

And if the money fairy would just drop about 50 millions, it would be so nice. Pay as you go is the way forward for this place.

Folks, the current owner is a skier who has owned a house at the resort for a long time. He and his family are all skiing there and you likely have waited in line with them and not known it. They are well aware of the massive "infrastructure needs". Meier has adopted a strategy of financing...

yes. with a used lift.

The footrests on 5 were ADDED just a couple of short years ago. Remember?

Wait. Did I miss something yesterday? The quad quit? What time? I have to admit I was out of there by 3:00 after my shift ended. The place was crammed crowded all afternoon.

Yes, it was the first day it was running this year. The Wes line says only 5 lifts today.... Its not going to be on today.

Yep, chair 2 was a cluster F today. Management at Greek has lost it. It’s beyond insane. There are rumors all over the place that they opened chair 2 without a checking on backup motor — on a cold day, with a terrain park snowboard event going. A chair nearly a mile long and 60 years old. Greek...

Not just at Greek. It’s economy wide. Wages have a lot of catching up to do from the last 40 years of wage stagnation. It’s not going to improve overnight and there is inflation risk. Not too many people want a seasonal job without benefits any more.

Nice conditions today. Snow makers all over. Visions loading carpet is off.

Took the wife for a few hours on a sking date today. A few more trails were open, including Mars and Arcadian Gate off Chair 5. We skied lifts 4 and 5 today. Weather-wise, Greek lucked out the last couple of days. They got 3 inches yesterday afternoon and last night and picked up 5 or so...

I'd say that every ski area that that's older than 10 years needs major work. These places take a lot of abuse. Every older area I've skied needs a deep cleaning as well as major painting, repair or replacement of: trail signs, lockers, carpets, bathrooms, and furniture. And you guys really...

Greek Peak: 1. Despite recent upgrades, Greek needs far more snow making. Frequent winters like this have made it obvious that Greek needs to be able to cover all its ground and quickly -- like within 48 hours. This year Greek is having the weather of a Virginia resort I used to ski.... but...

Not only in the lift making world, but in every other aspect of running a ski area. I've heard that Greek has at least 6 fan style snow maker machines sitting in storage because of lack of repair parts.

Lift 5 was open, and Mars was quite nice. It was soft on top where the sun was hitting and fast and firm in the shade. All in all a warm, sunny beautiful day. Weather forecast is for 10 days of above freezing temps and some days of showers. I'd guess that tomorrow will be the best skiing for the...
