Ski Areas around Syracuse, NY

[chrisrunsi]

Might be heading up there this/next weekend to pick up a car. Girlfriend won't go unless we stay the night a possibly hit a mountain while we are up there. My skireport.com map isn't working on my work computer, what good mountain area over there? I see labrador and Greek. Anything a little "bigger"?

Nothing bigger---the 2 you mentioned are the best we have to offer. Lab's a little closer to 'Cuse, but IMO, the extra 20 minute drive to Greek would offer you better terrain. Snow is good right now anywhere in the area so that will be equal. Have fun!!!

Hey camp...is that Song mountain that you can see from 81 right in or outside of Cortland? You can't see Greek from 81 can you? And...didn't Song used to be called Tully?

Song Mt. is pretty close.

Yes, that's Song, and no you can't see Greek from 81. Greek is 20 minute drive from exit 10/11/12 off 81. I don't recall it ever being named Tully, but it's in Tully NY.

Song wouldn't be the place to go anymore. Granted I haven't been there in years, but what I hear isn't great. And the terrain there isn't as good as Greek or Lab. My understanding is there is mng issues and not much $$$$ gets put back into the place.

Having skied both Lab and Greek either one is far better than Song . There is also Toggenburg but frankly i haven't heard too much about how it skis . Camp is on target tho -- first Greek then Lab

I always forget about Toggenburg----I know it's been 30 yrs since I've been there. Thanks for the blast from the past Warp!!
