Greek Peak Beginner Skiing
At Greek Peak, beginner skiers have freedom to explore the entire resort. Greek Peak offers beginner runs from the top of each of its four peaks, with the longest run topping out at a mile and a half.
Greek Peak’s learn to ski terrain is located near the base lodge. A magic carpet lift services the Boardwalk trail for true first timers, while Chair 3 services the Alpha Slope – Greek Peak’s main bunny slope.
Greek Peak’s three faces are connected by a series of gentle novice trails. From the top of the quad (Chair 1A), Karyatis Way winds its way down through a forest of pine and hardwoods before splitting into several green options at the base of the intermediate Elysian Fields run. The alternate green run from the top of the quad – Epicurus Way – connects the looker’s right peak with the center peak.
Chair 2’s main beginner run is Castor – a wide green slope perfect for improving technique. Novices have two options from the top of Chair 4. The first option, Marathon, bring skiers back to the center peak. The second, Mars Hill, takes skiers to the top of Chair 5 rising up from Greek Peak East. From there, the Poseiden trail returns skiers to the main base or the Crisaean Way trail brings skiers to the base of the triple.
Beginners will find that most of Greek Peak’s green trails serve more connectors than as interesting runs in their own right. They tend to be flat and somewhat dull. The best of this undistinguished pack is the lone green run to Greek Peak East (Crisaean Way to Lower Arcadian Gate).
