Greek Peak Conditions

Grabbed rock skis after lunch, skiers right of Fields was good, idk why it wasn't thin and bare instead of closed. Skier's left Illiad, good, thinner and rockier than Fields. Poached the connector over to Pollux, Pollux was real nice. Also made one run ungroomed side of Mars. Pretty skied over by the time I got to it, but skied well nonetheless. Again, can't understand the closed sign, at least til the split , Arethusa?

Not a bad day at Greek, but come on, no one to run 5 till 11 on a Holiday weekend. Or run 1 earlier. Oh well, I should be used to it by now. Rainbows an unicorns!

I feel so bad for the families that spent a ton of money for nothing.

I was told by ski patrol that lift 5 wasn't opening on time due to lifties not showing up to work on time.  I was there when they finally dropped the rope.  Nice powder run down Mars but lift stopped for a half hour on the way back up.  Eventually they got it moving and everyone off it.  After 1 run lift 5 was closed again after a late start.  It may have reopened later but, by then I was gone.  

I say get Wes out there running the lift when the lifties don't show up.  After all, it's due to poor treatment, work conditions and being a minimum wage job.  Until you improve those facets, this will continue to be a problem.  What happened to all the foreign workers they had a few years back?  Maybe they could look into the prison work release program for lifties.  After sitting in jail these guys aren't going to show up late to work and risk their parole.  Win/win as far as I'm concerned!

Where’s camp?

Every thing is awesome.  There’s never any lift lines worth mentioning. Think of as it time to meet and mingle with friends old and new.

Embrace it, Greek is the best.  Unless you expect your money’s worth.

Where did you ski radboy?

Here, here! Maybe they could be chained to their posts. Or use a little modern technology and give them shock collars. If they try and make a run for it ZAPPPP!

Oh, rainbows and unicorns

Where did you not ski today campwanttogetpeedon?

Typical
You cant even mention Song or Lab because they are ghetto compared to Greek. Good spot for all you lunch Packers.

A man's got to eat.

My understanding is that a long time ago, GP did use prisoners as lifties. I imagine that some  parents of kids in the school programs might have an issue with that, just saying...

Meanwhile, at Casa de WP, which is 25 minutes from the time I leave my driveway to the time I'm in the lift line, we have picked up two and a half inches of LE this afternoon, and it's still coming down.    Even better, I have tomorrow off.

PS. I thought horsepeople were bitchy. Some of y'all would give the bitchiest DQs a run for their money!

Sounds good.  Maybe I'll see you there and we can race down Alpha.

You're on!  Anybody that I can pass deserves to be passed!!!

Yup ghetto, They use Groupon to bring in the finest, and sell discounted passes to Philadelphia. Nope wait, that’s gp.

Nope. They would have showed up for work today

Wow. That is super low and racist.  Do you want to rethink that post?

How do you just show up to work hours late on a holiday weekend?  One of the busiest and most crucial weekends of Greeks season without consequences?  Oh right they are short handed.  They will take what they can get.

Sorry, you're right, especially this weekend. Here, is this OK, or is it offensive to white trash,?

Well, in in my world, I would just say that they suck.  

However, upon further examining your picture, the dudes are all armed with stuff for fixing fence.  Therefore, as a horse person, please give them a pass, and send them my way.  I have five acres of fencing that can use some help.

Thanks!
