Greek Peak Conditions (2016 - 2017)

Nice! That's a great name for that line.

I imagine it was quite the headache from the perspective of both GP and the power company.  Actual ownership of the property, easement/right-of-way, vegetation management, grooming, and insurance liability regarding incidents with the lines/poles probably made it easier to remove it as a trail.  

So, in summation, yes, it was most definitely the effers at work!

Yep, agree with all of that ^^

The way the fall line is at the top it's kinda cool, in a funky way, to ski it. You need to start skiers right and work your way to skiers left. Once you cross the maintenance road it doesn't matter.

We're lucky to have this ski area here in CNY. It has some cool little headwalls to ski on. Problem is they're short, but still wicked fun when the snow is good.

I recall skiing Electra back in the day, but really don't remember what it skied like. Every time I return to chair 4 from 5 on Poseidon, I glance up Electra , which brings back memories of the good old days. If I recall from last season, it was pretty overgrown. Although the lack of snow didn't help.

It certainly is a gem. Nothing is more diverse or skis better than Greek from CNY south.

Yeah it's def overgrown which limits where you can ski for sure

this weekend all Russians ski for free at Greek Peak!!  

YEPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR

Haha! It brings me back.

Here's Scotty Jack with those hot Russian skier chics

Apparently that's before he got his hair plugs..

I see that the webcam on the hill is finally working but I still can't get the base cam to load.

gp definitely rules for natural snow quality and funky terrain when she's on! When did they close Electra? It was well before my time as its been pretty grown in for a few years. When we had the big ice storms down here 5-6 years ago there was a huge trimming and clearing campaign in PA, I remember looking at  that line and thinking it would be fun to ski if it got a trim!

I'm not 100% sure but I'd guess it was the early 80's, maybe late 70's???

Yeah we need to get a crew together and do a little work in there

Tomorrow will be bangin at GP --- not so much on Sunday
