Greek Peak Conditions (2017 - 2018)

I'm here to report that Hollenbeck's donuts are simply the best God ever put on the planet.

that is all

One of you guys need to take a pic or two. We keep hearing about this place. Why are they only open in the fall? Do just make apple cider doughnuts when it’s Apple season or do they make all kinds?

Virgil NY is known for two things, Greek Peak and Hollenbeck's Cider Mill. Hollenbeck's has been around longer (since the 30's) and up until this year was only open in the fall and winter selling apples, apple cider, fudge and donuts. It's now 3rd generation selling baked goods, cheese, maple syrup, pizza, apples, apple cider, fudge and donuts.

Part of the experience is watching them press the apples into cider. They use the same press from the 30's. They're a local family and super nice people.

Bruce (one of the originals) was my bus driver --- it will be strange going there and not seeing him. NO locals will go in there at least until mid October, the place is a zoo. LOL

Added to the list of places to visit when I'm in the northeast in Oct.  Saw that they don't make apple pie during the summer because there aren't fresh apples available. :-)

I'm serious in saying this ----- their pies are as close to what Grams used to make that you'll find anywhere. They're all good, my fav is their Dutch peach or blueberry. Damn, maybe I'll have to wait in line and get one tonight on my way home.

you are killing me...those are my favorites..
gonna bake a apple pie tonight

Ugh -- that sucks bro. It will still be there whenever you get up. Hopefully lots of POW POW, as you know we're due for one.

Anyone going to Hops and Swaps?

Should be a fun day ----- https://greekpeak.net/hops-and-swaps

Nope.  I stupidly scheduled myself to be someplace else.

That's too bad Wonder --- should be a good time

I have been lurking all summer.   Not much to say.  

I do vaguely remember that I picked up my pass last time I was at GP.

Give me some good intel, Camp!  Work has been hell and I cancelled a scheduled vacation day (when what I wanted to go to was cancelled), knowing that I could/would save the vacation day for a bluebird day at GP.  Right about now, I would pretty much kill to go down the bunny slope on some rentals with dull edges, and (after swearing off it was a waste of my time), go up and do it again!

Snowed yesterday --- calling for more on and off this week.

You should be skiing by T-day!
