Greek Peak Conditions (2012-2013)

party is getting started!!!

From GP FB page:

Greek Peak Mountain Resort We are watching the weather and as soon as we have consistently cold temps we will start making snow. We are tentatively shooting for November 16th.

Opening day tomorrow - 3 trails - Magic Carpet, Alpha, and Iliad. Two beginner trails and a black trail (or as it would be called at Whiteface, a blue trail)

Lift tickets priced at $45

I don't think it will be too crowded...

yea i saw that on fb - what the hell are they thinking ?!? price 'em at $25 or few canned goods for sandy to get people excited and on the mountain, in the bar, in the lodge etc.!!!

Agree, that seems a bit steep for the WROD

Good news is Gatherings will be opening at noon on Sundays!!!!

Better news is the groomer said the snow is looking real good

I may go up early for a few runs with ATSD...

Conditions were soft and nice on Iliad. Best opening day condition in a number of years.

It's warmer today, so I expect today it will be mushy. Rain is coming in, so it will be a goretex day.

I'm glad to hear conditions are holding up. Not so sure about next weekend though..

Greek Peak Mountain Resort

We will re-open on Saturday, December 22nd, from 8:30am to 5:00pm with limited skiing/boarding and tubing.

Two trails will be open, Iliad and Alpha, as well as the Magic Carpet in the beginners area. The Tubing Center will be open from 10:00am to 7:00pm. Guests can take advantage of early season pricing. Snowmaking operations will continue as long as temperatures permit and Greek Peak will open additional terrain as soon as possible throughout the holiday week.

“Winter weather is in the forecast,” states Wesley Kryger, VP and General Manager of Greek Peak Mountain Resort. Kyrger goes on to encourage customers to come out and enjoy skiing/boarding, tubing, Mountain Coaster rides, Zip Lines, and Cascades Indoor Waterpark, which is now open seven days a week to the public.

Greek Peak Mountain Resort is dedicated to providing quality service to the community. Greek Peak will host their annual Ski Free Day on December 24th, where customers bring non-perishable food item(s) to support local food pantries. The Resort is planning their annual New Year’s Eve celebration on December 31st with their torch light parade and fireworks, great food, music, children's activities and more.

I normally don't participate in the WROD but I have an itch that needs to be scratched....prolly B 2 runs than out, but what the heck.

Today was the best grooming of the year on Iliad. Trojan was also good except for the top which felt a little sticky. Mars hill is still a nightmare and was a one and done. Overall a very good day.

They finally finished up snowmaking on the Fields and Stoic and moved the guns to Odyssey.

Good news on the grooming, boy-0-boy was it crap on tuesday.

Must be M.T. is back at it!!!

GPer's... couldn't find it on the site... how much snow has GP had year to date?

Has to be close to 3 feet and counting

p.s. you'll have a hard time finding anything on their site related to skiing--apparently it doesn't matter to them anymore.

You must be counting snowmaking in that total!

Well Mr. Fancy Pants, according to this    http://www.9wsyr.com/content/weather/seasonal_snow_total.aspx

we've recieved 39.1 inches of snow so far this year

put THAT in your pipe and smoke it

So...you are equating Syracuse snowfall to Greek Peak?

Its probably between those numbers in the link.

Actually I calculated all the snow I've removed from my driveway---that link seemed to back up my original statement of "close to  3 feet and counting"

And, as you know, our annual snowfall is closer to Cuse than anyone else around.

Hahaha...just bustin'

from grotonweather.com:

Seasonal Snowfall Through 01/6
