Greek Peak Conditions (2017 - 2018)

Cornell has closed as of 5 am Friday, 3/2. At the moment, it's just raining. However, if Cornell is going to send out closing information 12 hours ahead of time, things could get interesting. 😁

It's not clear if they are going to offer reduced pricing on multiple passes like they did last year. The only reason I got a pass for my daughter in college is because the fourth pass was pretty cheap. But she barely got her money's worth over her winter break. If they don't have discounts for either college students or family pricing I can't justify passes for the kids.

They offer discounts after the first two passes--very similar to last year. In addition, they do offer a college pass.  All of the pricing information can be found here:

As usual, the pass pricing on the website is a bit confusing. It should read, first 450 passes, next 475 passes, next 500 passes.

THanks. I always have trouble finding the info on their site.

So it looks like they fully intend to charge gradually higher prices if you aren't in the first 450 passes purchased, or the next 475.

Call me whatever you want, but it looks like I'll be going back to Song next year. I'm not playing stupid games to compete for a resource because GP is trying to create a fake sense of scarcity. I should be their target demographic, with multiple passes to purchase and a relatively high disposable income.

It's just disappointing that they treat long time customers this way. On the other hand, using the money I would spend on four GP passes, I can get Song / Lab, and then spend the balance at GP like we did in the two seasons before this one. Basically three hills for the price of one.

5 - 6 inches down already this AM

Nice. Good to have first hand report - the webcams both at GP and other places around Cortland don't appear to show more than about 3.

I just bought my pass for next year. $450 total. The pricing for multiple passes looks reasonable to me.

I thought they weren’t on sale till the 10th?  Can you purchase them now?

Agree - I think I misread what I saw at first. Four passes are $350 each. I think that's about the same as last year.

Yes you can buy now.  They have already whacked my credit card...

Woohoo!!  Got mine!!  

This is the excitement and sense or urgency they wanted to create.

Billy!!!! Hurry up, hurry up and get it!!!!

We’re in!  Family of 4 for $350 each!  I’m happy with that.

Then why didn't you wait to make the purchase?

Chair 5 will open at 8:30 on March 10, with free parking, so we can play and watch those crazy Spartans run up Odessey carrying 50 pound on their backs. I skied last year when they had the Spartan race. They did their thing, skiers and boarders did ours. It worked out fine.
