Greek Peak Intermediate Skiing

Intermediate skiing at Greek Peak consists more of open slopes than narrow cruisers. Due in part to the resort’s limited vertical drop, most of the blue trails follow the fall-line rather than having a series of switchbacks; there simply is not enough vertical or pitch to warrant cutting trails rather than slopes. The resort rightly saved its best sustained steep pitches for the four advanced trails off of the quad (Chair 1A).

The Elysian Fields/Stoic combination off of the quad provides sustained advanced intermediate pitch for the entirety of its descent. The skier’s right portion of Elysian Fields is often allowed to become moguled and is not reached as easily by the snowguns on the skier’s left. As a result, when conditions are good the right side of Elysian Fields becomes a fantastic blue bump run – perfect for practicing mogul technique.

We also love Upper Arcadian Gate from the top of Chair 4 heading down to Greek Peak East. The resort has left a handful trees in the middle of the run which make for fun high speed turns through between these widely-spaced hardwoods.

However, the best intermediate trail at Greek Peak is also likely the shortest. Lower Atlas is easily missed. The entrance to the skier’s right of the beginner Pollux trail is small. Lower Atlas is a brief, but fun and narrow trail that empties out near the base of Chair 4. It’s a short shot, but it is narrow and hugs the natural topography, making for a fun ride.
