I go to Cornell...

Where do you guys ski?  Pretty dissapointed with Greek Peak after two years now but Togg is pretty sick and only $15 with a college ID, so I really plan on only skiing there next semester.

Also it looks like Whiteface might open up for this upcoming weekend.  I might go, I'm dying to ski again...also hopefully someplace nearby has some sort of post season rail jam.

yeah park "isn't their focus," so they have been rather quickly fazing it out the past few years. Also notice there was not a single kink. Used to have battle ship box, flat drop flat box, dfd, fdf(dif rails) like a 50ft flat rail and even some smallish tables, oh and a cut halfpipe, it used to be below Elysian fields too. But after the RCR thing they got rid of jumps. Then all the good kids left like Pat and Eric, Owen and Cam, so they stopped having the cool comps they used to like the junkyard jam and the rail jam series every week and pipe and slope comps...

Or maybe I was 8 and remember it being better than it was, who knows.

This past season was my first year skiing and I thought Greek was alright. My brother goes to school in Cortland so I pick him up and we go there for the day. Its like 45 minutes from my house which is why we go there. I could def see the park a dissapointment for the people that are good. I am just getting into it so it was fine for me.

Last ski season I bought a pass for Greek Peak and the park sucked but it was pretty fun when it snowed.  There's some fun stuff in the trees, under that lift in the middle there is pretty fun and also there's cliffs after the woods to the left of that main trail.

But this season was horrible.  Their park was useless.  I regret buying the $260 pass so much.

Next season I'm just gunna drive the extra half hour to Togg.  They actually care about the parks there and its pretty decent.  They had like 3-4 jumps this year and the rails were pretty fun.  Also its $15 for college student day passes.
