When Greek Peak was put on the auction block this past spring Marc Stemerman and John Meier stepped in to grab the opportunity to save the mountain they’ve skied for decades. Greek Peak’s new owners announced some of their plans for the mountain at a recent press conference. We interviewed Marc and John about their vision for the resort.
NYSkiBlog: Who are the new owners of Greek Peak? Where are you from? What is your background? Are you skiers?
The cold, snowy party that started in December and extended into early January came to a end with a thud in the middle of the month, when a warmup and a dose of liquid H2O did a number on conditions across the northeast.
Base depths were whacked across New York, and the Catskills were hit especially hard, with natural snow trails showing bare ground.
Skiers wondered: would this be another one of “those years?”
Why would the NY Ski Blog include a section for Vermont Ski Areas in our Ski Area Directory?
It’s a common misconception that nyskiblog.com is exclusively about New York State Ski areas. NYSkiBlog is intended as a resource for New York skiers. And we ski in Vermont. We ski Killington in October or May. We ski Mad River, when we’re looking for that all natural experience that only Mad can deliver. We ski Jay Peak for copious amounts of powder or when the family demands a waterpark. There’s no question that Vermont has allure for New York skiers.
The VT Section of the Directory includes trail maps and basic statistics. Now it’s time for the real work. It’s our goal to publish a 500-800 word overview of our favorite lift-served areas in Vermont. We’d like your help.
