Jon Spaulding is the marketing director at Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Courtland. He says ski mountains across the area have been challenged with warmer winters in recent years.
“Well, you would think that being in Central New York, that we would get these very snowy winters. That hasn’t been the case of late. Climate change is real, and it’s affected the entire ski industry.” (0:13)
Understanding this fact, Spaulding says Greek Peak has invested greatly to improve its snowmaking operations.
“More and more, we’re going to have to make snow to get those hundred-day seasons, which people are accustomed to in Central New York.
And make snow they did. Spaulding says Greek Peak’s operations team can now produce more than 26 football fields worth of foot deep snow in only 24 hours. Helping to open the more than 50 trails of terrain, improving conditions and safety for guests. The mountain will be back open this weekend with first chair at eight-30 Saturday morning.
“I’m here at Greek Peak where snow making operations teams will have plenty of snow for skiers and boarders to enjoy this coming Saturday. And even if you aren’t, six lanes of snow tubing will also be open. Reporting from Cortland, Geoffrey Goose, N-C-C News.”
