Greek Peak Conditions

It's not uncommon out west but is certainly new for us east coasters.

It’s a feature not a bug.

I seem to recall chair 2 opening after chair 5 on weekends last year. Just for planning purposes (so I know how much BYOB I have to carry), do you know if they will open Castor Connector?

I don't know

We too refer to it as Ronnie's Run--off of the "yellow chair", but never heard who it was named after. Do you know who Ronnie was?

You are correct, it's called the yellow chair.
Ronnie's Run story as I know it. How true? Not sure....
Greek Peak has a rich history not only in ski racing but also motorcross racing. Before chair 5, there was a track over there. A bunch of guys would practice over there. Most of them ski raced as well as motorcross. Ronnie was one of them, an OG. He skied the line we know as Ronnie's Run. He died in a motorcycle accident thus the name.

That certainly is interesting. Thanks for the insight. The place is definitely packed with some history.

Yo camper I wonder if Ronnie and the boys ever did the infamous Bridgewater New York Hill climb that was a huge motorcycle Hill climb race down off route 20 in Bridgewater New York.

A relative of mine who had a farm there used to own the land where the race was and that sucker was Mondo steep. In the old days the old TV series Wide World of Sports used to cover it

I'm not sure but I'm curious. There are still a couple of OGs left. One being the dude who told me that story. I'm going to ask him next time I see him.
I'll report back at a later date.

All 6 chairs with 51 trails open today. Big slope style event as well.

Been waiting for more terrain to open. We're going to use a Indy day there tomorrow

Some friends who skied Greek Peak today texted me and said they had to be evacuated around 2:00 from chair 2. I don't know the details, as I haven't spoken with them.
