GREEK PEAK

MOUNTAIN RESORT

S now-covered peaks. Cozy fireplaces. Warmly-dressed skiers hitting the

slopes. These are the images that typically come to mind when one thinks
of a classic mountain resort. At Greek Peak Mountain Resort, there is no
“off season.” Situated on more than 7,000 acres of state-protected forests
in Virgil, just minutes from Interstate I-81, and 10 minutes south of Downtown
Cortland, the resort packs a big, family-friendly adventure.

CORTLAND COUNTY’S WINTER WONDERLAND

Central and Upstate New York’s largest ski resort was founded in 1958 and offers
day and night skiing seven days a week from late December until mid March. The
mountain sports 56 trails, six aerial lifts, two surface lifts, and terrain parks. Some
recent additions to the facility include a new quad chairlift, new ski and board equipment
in the rental shop, and state-of-the art ski and board tuning facility. Greek Peak
also has a great beginner area and offers lessons for all ages and every level of skier
and boarder.

The Greek Peak Nordic Center boasts over 15 miles of gorgeous trails that are open
to cross country skiers and snowshoers of all abilities. And, the ten-lane snow-tubing
center has a lift to get you back to the top of the hill!
