Today's snow at Skan was a bit faster and the new fluff added this afternoon was nice too.

I had a blast running laps laps over a couple of hours before the rain came back. I left early due to the rain at about 2:30. The rain this week melted the natural snow. Nevertheless, Thruway and the Bunny Slope are deeply covered and well groomed. The lack of natural snow allowed work to...

Did anyone else ski today? It got colder as the day went on but the lack of wind and cold temps allowed yesterday's wetish snow to set up a bit. Mars and Arathusia Way were both fairly busy as was Visions, which was stopped at about 9 to do something to the loading carpet. 4 stopped briefly in...

You've got it. Different designs use different e-brakes, but the design you mention is the old and safest standard. The chair you refer to had a manually operated friction brake that broke. No backup.

My Dad worked for Hall decades ago. And we skied together and I asked him a lot of questions about the lifts. So while I am no engineer this is my best layman's explanation for what is going on when a lift bounces. I believe that all the lifts but Visions are Hall Lift or Hall Lift style...

OMG today was the best day of skiing at Greek in a few years. Fresh snow, temperatures above 25, lite winds. Goggles needed for most. Even icy Zeus was easy on fresh snow.

Was there Saturday after Christmas and Tuesday 12/31. The rain on Sunday and Monday washed the snow off all the non snow making areas for Tuesday skiing. Never the less they had all the lifts open, including Casper from Chair 2 and Mars Hill under Chair 5. All the open trails but Iliad were in...

Taken today?!

Am just coming in from slopes. Was cloudy some flakes in air and about 35 degrees. Three ways down have very nice loose granular snow: Karyatis, Elysian Fields and Odessey.

Right. I can confirm, as of 3/22... Greek has NOT announced a closing day; I was skiing there today... I expect that they will be open Saturday, Sunday and next weekend. They made a ton of snow the last couple of days.

Was out this afternoon for a couple of hours, which is about all my healing foot can handle. Greek made a considerable amount of snow in the last couple of days. Visions was open as was Odyssey, Fields to Stoic, and Karyatis to Platonic and it looked like they had blown snow on all the open...

nope

Its not just the lack of snow the last three years, it's the warmth. I have been around CNY for 55 years, and the last 10 years have been too warm and too wet. This year? I can't remember any winter with so much rain and so little cold weather as this one. I have a professional quality weather...

Drove by Sunday and the hill was open with man made snow on the bunny hill and Thruway. I skied here a lot as a teen and really enjoyed it. It may be less than 400 of vertical but it's got a nice fall line and a couple of difficult trails, but it is mostly intermediate terrain. One T bar, a rope...

OMG. Seeing pictures of open water on Tully and Otisco Lakes (without ice in February) is frightening to me. I skied Song for years and I can't recall ever seeing those two lakes without ice in February. Something is seriously, seriously wrong here folks.

On sunday the quad was down from the moment I arrived at 1:00 and was still closed when I left at 4:30. But all the other lifts were all spinning and only Lift 1 was crowded. Otherwise Sunday was a great ski day with blue sky, temps in the lower 30s, not much wind and lots of man-made snow. If...

Due to an injury I wasn't able to get on the slopes until this week when I discovered that Greek has done a fantastic job of making snow in what's been a warm and rainy winter. And it's not just great coverage, the quality of the surface has been great. And I was happy to see that they were...

creepy.

Sigh, ARGH!!!!!. Trip cancelled. Went to the doctor Friday (before leaving) to follow-up on the healing process for a torn ligament in my foot. I injured it last May and it still hasn't completely healed. Its getting better, but toooooo slowly. At first I thought this was a minor injury, it...

I stopped by mid afternoon Wednesday to grab my equipment for my trip to Killington next week. It was about 25 degrees. The snowmakers were blasting and some flakes were in the air. Looks like Alpha and Odyssey have lots of snow and will be open. I couldn't see too much else, maybe Elysian and...
