Greek Peak Conditions

I have towed a saucer sled and have considered towing skis before but we always decided in the end it sounded like a great way to bust a knee

The Amish tow rollerbladers behind their buggies here abouts and we have considered trying that too but always thought running up too fast into the back of the car was a risk.

Powder skis behind a sled sounds like fun, thought of that driving by fields and fields of powder near Snow Ridge.

It doesn't work as good as you think. Most fun is flat out skitching

Most fun is flat out skitching

For sure
And nobody would call the cops.

No, but they shouldn't say they're opening it when they can't. Just be honest. In a time when no one wants to work, it isn't shocking they're having trouble getting people to stand in sub zero temps for $15/hr

Guys, please be understanding, we have had many employee call in sick over the last few weeks, and some have had to quit to assist with family who've gotten sick. All departments have been affected. Yes, it's Covid. Snowmakers, instructors, operations, hotel, and yes, even lift operators. The bottom line is that we have had days when we could not open a lift (or two) because we don't have enough staff. The bottom line is that we need people in nearly every department across the resort even if nobody calls in sick.

I figure that the snow phone says "We plan to open..." Sometimes, plans change. Like my plan to go to the grocery store.

Go with the flow.

Zeus is planned to open as soon as it can be groomed too. There have been snowmakers on it for over a week and were turned on a few days ago, at long last.

Guys, please pay attention and be nice to our critical hill staff. We've got many newbies and we are all trying to help them get used to the craziness that comes with working with the outdoors and with customers for the first time in their lives. You'd be surprised with what comes with working in the cold, standing at the lift helping kids and adults for the first day, and especially standing in the cold outside for what seems like forever at a time at lifts. Then the folks pushing snowmakers around even have it tougher. At -5 degrees with a 20 mph wind. We need these folks badly in a winter that started off warm and snowless, but now has turned cold, but still with not as much natural cover as we'd like.

What the snowmakers and hill crew have done this year is nothing short of grand. We are nearly completely open, we are skiing even on natural snow only areas like Arcadian Gate and in the woods glades. Go and have fun. Chair 2 and 5 were open last night, and will be all weekend. So have fun!!!!!
