    Greek Peak Conditions

    This was the quad, it was loading today at 8 when we arrived, letting all ride it this morning, no one stationed in front of the gates. I loaded around 8:15.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Yeah, I thought Trojan skied better than Mars. I had it to myself early, made three runs on the front before heading there. Oh, I saw the quad loading when i arrived, a little after 8. It was probably 8:20, 8:25, when i got out. A girl was stationed in front of the gates She asked if we were...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    At the risk of ridicule, Greek skied pretty good this morning. Yes, they picked up a couple inches overnight. I didn't take any pics, but it was enough to lure kids onto skier's right of Mars Just the upper part, didn't see anyone skiing the lower half. Though if you were not care about your...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    You couldn't, I'm not sure you could get back without a shuttle ride either. Patrol had neglected to rope off, or even put a closed sign on Upper Mars, the liftie took the closed sign off the tree it was leaning against on the edge of the trail, and placed it in the middle. Night skiing sucks...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Greek skiing pretty sweetly this morning, couple inches of fresh up top, snow being blown isn't the sandpaper hit it was last week, kinda cool, teens at opening.

    The Generations of Music

    Cool, thanks for posting. We used to get some pretty big names in little old Binghamton. I saw Dylan and Clapton at the Arena. I think we benefitted from being at the intersection of 81 and 17. When the Arena first opened concert tickets were a whopping $5.50! Pre Who catastrophe, general...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Idk, I personally wouldn't, it will be mediocre conditions at best. Later in the week with continued snow making will probably be better, I would assume. I only take off work for storm events. I took off for the storm several weeks ago, it did snow a foot plus, but it was very heavy snow and was...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    tomorrow? Might not be so bad after they spread around what they made today. Looks like they should be able to make snow, at least overnight, for most of the upcoming week.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Its pretty bad, but they were blowing, some spots where the newly blown snow wasn't very deep were ok, but if you got into it too deep it was very heavy and wet. I almost crashed once hitting a sticky spot unexpectedly. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

    Gore vs Belleayre

    Make sure there's no weird Canadian holidays if you go to Whiteface. I got burned by that once. I asked some women on the gondola why there were so many French speaking people there It was whatever obscure Canadian holiday, I can't recall which. It hadn't dawned on me that WF is pretty close to...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    I can remember thinking to myself, what's worse than a yard sale right under the lift, answer, said yard sale with all your gear gracefully brought to you by a one legged skier. Maybe a sit skier would be worse, I don't know.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Never seen so many yard sales in such a short amount of time. Best was a one legged skier gracefully bringing yardsalers equipment downhill to them.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    What a difference a day makes! A couple inches on the ground up top at opening. Snowed the whole time I was there, 9 till 11:30. Skied great. Top of Karyatis Middle Bottom, or is it Meadows? Can't turn two trails into eight without divying them up. Top of Fields Fields from Karyatis, or...

    Ski Vermont 4-Packs

    Ah, the good old days, perennial $199 Greek passes, half price at Whiteface and Gore any day but holidays, surprised the Whiteface deal remained for a good ten years after the Gore stopped . I would rarely go to Whiteface when both deals were in effect, additional 120 miles of driving to ski...

    Red Rocks, CO: 09/18/22

    Went there to hike with my son while visiting last spring. Easter sunrise service held there a few days after, it was televised. Temps were in the 30's, still a good turnout. Very cool place, must've been cool to be there for the U2 show when that iconic video was filmed. I saw U2 at the...

    Carrols Hamburgers

    Upper Court St Binghamton, we lived across the river about a mile upstream. My brother owned a 17ft Grumman canoe that a friend who lived on the river let chain up behind his house.. We would paddle it to Carrols. I can remember the Looney Tunes glasses rolling around in the bottom of the boat...
