Greek Peak Conditions

And, pending for next weekend. Wild to think of that in a low snow year.
Plus, 2 more years of improving their snowmaking capabilities to go 👍🏼🏆👍🏼
 
Listening to Wes on the snow phone this morning, I wouldn't be surprised if Greek is open again this weekend. I'll guess it depends on the amount of snow we get this week.
 
I posted about the final destination for one of the old Alpha slope double chairs over on FTO and that has also sparked a bit of memory lane discussion for a couple of us. Starts with this post: Chair #40 finally gets a new home. Love that Harvey has the same forum interface going over here on NYS ski blog too.

I occasionally check in to read, but rarely post over here obviously.

This is not a coincidence. We had Xenforo here first, and I advocated for it on FTO.
 
We're in year 4 of the 5 year snowmaking improvement plan.

Hollenbeck's opens Sept 14th

The best time of the year is getting near 🍻

Greek hosted the SkiNY-SkiPA Expo for ski industry folks mid-September, with 300+ around. I gather this industry expo moves around to different resorts and is held every two years.

Ski NY-Ski PA Expo 2024 Recap

SAM Magazine—Cortland, N.Y., Sept. 20, 2024—The annual Ski NY-SkiPA Expo was held at Greek Peak Mountain Resort on Sept. 15-18, welcoming more than 300 ski

" . . .
The expo featured more than 30 sessions on management, mountain operations, marketing and sales, and risk and safety topics, including National Ski Areas Association’s (NSAA) Fall Education Series and Lift Safety Bootcamp.
. . .

SAM hosted a two-part session on summer operations, focusing on the intersection of defining and selling summer, and designing the ideal summer guest experience.

In part one, Claire Humber of SE Group led participants through case studies of resorts that have expanded their business to enhance the four-season experience. She was joined by Jon Spaulding of Greek Peak and Hugh Reynolds of Mountain Creek, N.J., to discuss the key performance indicators for evaluating summer business. Part two, led by SNOW Operating’s Eric Lipton, was an interactive session where ski areas defined the value of their current summer offerings based on a calculation for guest satisfaction before designing their ideal summer operations as a method for strategic planning.

Artificial intelligence was also a hot topic. Eternity’s Mike Lannen, who is partnering with SAM on the Ski Resort AI Bootcamp this fall, gave an introductory workshop on ChatGPT, and the “Snowmaking Tech Updates” panel discussion delved into the emerging AI integrations from many of the snowmaking suppliers.

During the gathering, SANY took the opportunity to recognize several industry leaders. Wes Kryger of Greek Peak, who could not attend the event, will be inducted into the SANY Hall of Fame in late October. . . .
. . .

While these important connections and discussions were at the forefront, the expo was not “all work and no play” for attendees. From golf, summer activities, and karaoke on Monday to the Western-themed party with fireworks over Hope Lake on Tuesday, visiting ski areas and suppliers were able to experience Greek Peak as guests would, sparking inspiration for the year ahead."
