I have been meaning to try Greek and visit my western NY ski friends' home hill but wanted to wait for great conditions. Yesterday fit the bill.

Normally I drive by Greek to visit my son at Cornell. It doesn't look like much from the road. Maybe 900' vertical. But Greek is actually pretty spread out and there is a lot of good terrain there to explore. Cornhead acted as my guide and we skied pretty much every lift on the hill. We skied a variety of groomed terrain and natural snow trails and glades. 100% open yesterday.

I was impressed with the trees there mostly because there were a lot of trees to ski and several were challenging and pretty long. In addition, there were many steep pitches which skied great with the natural snowfall the past week. Early on the snow was still fluffy but it got wetter and thicker as the day progressed, still surfable though. Except for a short burst of light rain we were spared any wetness.

I had a great day. Enjoyed the lunch we had in the lodge. Met and skied with some interesting characters during a day well spent. At 2:45 each way not a bad drive either. I will be back.
