Greek Peak Conditions

[gorgonzola]

How many days did you ski at Greek this year? What are the improvements for this year? Why dont they run their lifts midweek and charge $120? Why do they lie about their vertical drop?

take yer whinin' elsewhere

That’s the Greek peak attitude. Are you an employee, pass holder, or property owner?

So. My 21 visits on a pass that I paid last year for $520 for work out to $24.67 per day. I normally ski for 1.5 to 2 hours. That means that it costs me $16.51 per hour.

This was a low number of visits. I normally plan on hitting my break even point in early January and hit 25 times a year.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

This is kind of a place for whinin'. No need to take it elsewhere, it's what we do.

My three cents:

Day tickets are expensive, even more so than they were pre-covid and pre-Vail. Ski hills want you to buy a pass. Customers don't set pricing, beyond voting with their wallet.

Vert claims... hard to find one in NY that matches up with Google Maps. Seems like the base elevation is the place to fudge.

Generally if you think something is worth what you're paying, you keep buying it. If not, you don't. Seems like that is what's happening with the skiers in this thread. If enough people agree that something is overpriced, prices will drop or the business will go under.

Day tickets? Who buys day tickets. That said, there are plenty of examples of GP offering discounted day tickets. So there's that.

Whining? I've always found it interesting that those who whine like lil bitches about the cost of skiing are also the ones who scream for upgrades. Kinda weird iffin u ask me.
