Greek Peak Conditions (2017 - 2018)

Awesome - some new snowmaking equipment

Good for them!!!! Wonder where they'll be installing it.

That's a pretty sight!  I'm pleased to see the incremental investments going into the place, given our erratic winters. Snow making is becoming more and more important.

I wonder if the tower guns will be placed on the upper portion of the Odyssey to finish that slope off.

I would also love to see them sink some water pipes on Upper Mars, which is desperately overdue.

Doesn't freakin matter where they put them Camp, cause they won't turn the damn things on anyway!

^ Man has a point.

Agree. Proof will be in the pudding.

On a less sour note (pun intended), Hollenbeck's opens in a little over a week on 9/23

boo for the pre-season negativity - new guns is good!

yay for hollenbachs, hope to be up first or second week in october for our anniversary wine tour

Give me a shout when your up ----- I'll try and hook up with you guys for a beer in Tracks

Back to the guns ---- they kept this pretty quite. Wonder what the deal is with them. My guess is they will be replacing existing that is run down. GIANT step in the right direction  ---- major props

SHHHHH we like to keep it secret!!!!

You guys are the best

Welcome back GPP.

Would be nice to see some coverage for a change. There are many ways to ski the hill with everything open, not so much when coverage is poor. I had to ski south the past 3 seasons for good conditions. I will be watching this tread as always to see how it goes this season. Who knows may be a pass holder next year as apposed to just a couple times a season.

Greek P had a write up and photos of the new snowmaking equipment on their Facebook page, several days ago. It was up for about 5 hours. It was well received with 220 likes and 38 comments - 37 Positive and 1 Negative.

Another piece of news that actually excites me is that the resort fee is going away, except for lodging.

Why on earth would they take the posting down? It's great advertising.

The problem is that they make just enough snow to open a trail, and then a warm spell hits a few weeks later and wipes them out. They need to build a solid base before moving on. Given their lack (although growing) of fixed guns, they are spending so much time moving equipment around. Labor costs money.
