Date(s) Skied: 11/25/16
Resort or Ski Area: Greek Peak
Conditions: Melting man-made and natural
Trip Report:
Greek Peak received a healthy dose of LES snow on Sunday and Monday, not sure how much, but nearby Song opened Tuesday with 30+". Warm weather and rain had taken their toll since. They were able to groom Wednesday, but not since.
We arrived early, booted up and I picked up my season's pass. Got in line, and got first chair of the season along with a couple GP regulars. The snow wasn't terrible, pretty firm and fast with corduroy of Wednesday's grooming erased by the warmth and rain. There were a few easily avoidable bare spots on Stoic. Fog made visibility pretty poor for the first few runs, but improved as the day progressed.
Along with Fields/Stoic, and Karyatis, Greek opened Alcemene, and Iliad despite having no man-made snow blown on them. I decided to pass as I'd chosen to ski my good skis. A snowboarding friend of mine looked like he was having fun lapping the 6", or so, of heavy "fresh" snow remaining on skier's left of Alcemene.
We decided not to head back out after our usual 11 O'clock bar break. Got about 10 runs in by then. The Sun even poked through a bit as we were finishing up. I doubt Greek will remain open for the season, but it was nice to be on the hill pre December for the first time in quite awhile.
