    Greek Peak Conditions

    I think that we can agree on. We ski Greek Peak because of the terrain and lack of crowds. I was just hoping for more from the place. The Hope Lake Lodge side of the valley is gorgeous with the new wedding pavilion and campground that is coming online soon.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    So I think what many of you prefer is a small regional ski area versus trying to grow the place into a true resort? I’m not criticizing that – – I’m just trying to understand. The point I was trying to make with respect to crowds at other ski areas is that there is a reason for that. One of the...

    Ha ha! A gondola or tram would cost more than Greek Peak is worth.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    What group? It’s just my family and I. I believe the original question was something along the lines of what you would do regarding lift replacement if you had to select two lifts to replace. Campgottogopee pretty much shot everyone’s idea down. I felt from a marketing standpoint that a...

    Based on what? I’m assuming he is a university guest lecturer and industry insider.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    He certainly is funny and is an expert on the ski industry. So you think replacing the lifts with T-bars is a sound business strategy rather than a high speed quad?

    Greek Peak Conditions

    We pushed through lunch today and skied until around 2:00. Conditions at 8:30 were ungroomed and firm. They were going to groom when the temperature dropped, but we did not see any of the cats. We were pretty much all over the mountain. We were pleased to see the race on the Odyssey, as well as...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Apparently, I'm RJ in Campgottagopees mind. I think if you disagree with him, you're RJ or whatever other childish names he decides to call you.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    When did I make fun of Camgottagopee? I simply pointed out that he doesn't ski, but yet clings to this forum, and has an opinion on everything skiing, including lifts. I am very understanding of those with injuries or disabilities. I wasn't aware that Campgottagopee had a bad knee until he...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Now we are back to name calling--twice in one morning. I guess you were absent the day your first grade teacher discussed that topic with your class. Name calling speaks quite a bit about your character. Can I postulate that RJ didn’t bow down to you either? I’ve been trying to hold my tongue...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    We actually ski Greek Peak, so we know what conditions are like, how the lifts are operating, and so on. In terms of John and Christine, we don’t know them personally, but I’m sure the former Toggenburg skiers think highly of them.

    Wait a second! Campgottagopee is the most active member of this ski blog with opinions on skiing, but doesn’t ski anymore???

    Greek Peak Conditions

    Don’t be too impressed. We got the information from some friends who ski Greek Peak every weekend. However, we are going to ski Greek Peak this weekend.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    They are still waiting for some permits, but it is slated to replace chair 3. My understanding is that parts were an issue, but that's been resolved.

    Greek Peak Conditions

    I'm thinking from both a staffing and marketing standpoint. A HSQ that replaced 1A and Visions would cut staffing in half. HSQ's are also good for marking. Customers coming from NYC and Philly all drive by ski areas that have high speed lifts. Heck, Holiday Valley installed a HSQ to replace...

    Greek Peak Conditions

    I would replace chair 1 with a high speed quad or six pack and relocate Visions to chair 4. Chair 2 has some historic value and I believe the mechanicals were replaced not that long ago. It could use some sprucing up. Personally, I’d like to see this chair restored to its original path so that...

    Electra was a trail that ran under the power line off of chair 4.

    Greek Peak 01/21/22

    Elk just appears to be cared for. I know that's a bit of a flimsy statement. Behind the scenes, who knows. But it's rare that you hear of a lift issue at Elk. Buildings and lifts are painted, hydrants are marked, lights work, trees are planted annually, etc. Don't get me wrong, the terrain at...

    Greek Peak 01/21/22

    I know they are inspected, but lifts do in fact fail. Elk had a lift fail on Sunday that required evacuation, and while they also have some vintage lifts, Elk does a good job of taking care of the place overall. I sure hope that John and Christine start to focus on the lifts. I know they've been...
