The please DON'T seed anything at Greek Peak

[campgottagopee]

Please don't seed a damn thing at Greek Peak---we don't need no stinkin' seeded moguls---natural ones are just fine

I thought that Greek had so many hardcore extreme skiers that it didn't need seeding?

Exactly, that's why I am BEGGING them not to seed a damn thing.

Actually, the only thing extreme at Greek is trying to get a seat at the bar :beer:

Hey, Greek Peak has an Olympic mogul run - the one at far right in this photo (scroll down):

Right, Gottago? When I was there the moguls were natural. The ice was maybe half man-made.

Nope, no moguls---all man made ice

Sam Kraeger still own Greek Peak? He is a thug. Brought down Scotch Valley back in the late 80s. Town of Stamford, NY is a ghost town now. I would never support Greek Peak if owned by that thug.

Al Kryger: The Man Who Built the Mountain
Al Kryger spent 46 years building Greek Peak into one of Upstate's most loved ski resorts. Now he is overseeing the construction of Hope Lake Lodge and Indoor Water Park, adjacent to the mountain and the Town of Virgil recreation area.
Al Kryger, CEO and President of Peak Resorts, joined the company as a part-time ski patrolman in 1960, and went on to become mountain manager. For more than 46 years, he has been responsible for financial planning, construction, sales and marketing and overall management of the complex which grew over that time from a local ski club to one of the largest and most successful ski centers in Central Upstate New York. As chief executive, he has overseen Greek Peak's growth from simple base facilities to the acquisition of 1,600 acres of farmlands and state land swaps, with 32 ski trails, six chairlifts and two "Magic Carpet" lifts, an extensive snowmaking system, along with lighting and night skiing, and beautiful base lodge facilities. Kudos to Al for his hard work and vision in making this dream a reality.

Shhhhhh---don't tell people we have good bumps :lol:

Actually, for a small hill we do have some pretty darn good bump skiers. In fact, one of our ski shop "rats" competed on the pro circut for 5 or so years-----get this, his picture was on the cover of "Nightlife Magazine" back in the late 80's. Pix still hangs in the shop to this day.
