CONSTRUCTIVE Greek Peak thread.

Greek has caught a LOT of hate on here in the past, actually a ton from myself. It's really easy to just hate, so instead I would like to ask, what in your eyes could they do to "turn it around"?

My first suggestion would be for early season to try and have at least one box and rail, and I would be blown away if they got a 1 1/2' pipe or corrugated.

They have certainly bought some dumb features in the past few years (That mini rainbow and the balls?) What kind of features would bring you to Greek?
 
Stack three Greek Peaks on top of each other, then use a great deal of blasting and heavy machinery to make it steeper. Follow this by updating the lifts to something that actually moves. Next put in a park with jumps that actually have landings. Lastly, move the mountain to somewhere with better snow. Oh, and keep pass prices the same. That should just about cover it.
 
Was only there once. I've never been to any more old-school mountains, so this was a first. It was the stereotypical 70s ski resort filled with old assholes.

Was still fun to lap for a few hours. We went there for the park which I specifically called ahead to make sure was open, which they told me it was fully open. Ends up being about 1/4 open with some really shitty rails that had to be fixed every few hits.

Once again, this is only after a one time experience.
 
I've asked park crew if they were gonna put a decent street entry rail in and they gave me a bullshit answer. They said that they could only do ride on because Greek didn't want little kids getting hurt in the park. If you want little kids to not hurt them self don't let them in the park, not make only beginner features they couldn't hit anyways. Just my little rant.
 
At this rate I would say that's already a strong possibility. They have been making snow any chance they can get. The amount of money they have already wasted, in my opinion, is just saddening. They've already gone through two different periods of snow making that were completely lost.(two weeks ago and this past weds.) Come tuesday they will be starting from scratch for the third time this season.
 
I've emailed them and they are looking to get feedback and ideas on how to set up the terrain park and how they can make it a better draw for people.

Street style lips? no dumb rainbows? I was thinking about taking 2 flat rails setting them kinda staggered so its a flat drop flat. Seriously any idea's on how they could better set up their park with what they have.
 
I've only been to their park once(day) and it was closed....so idk if this will count. Nonetheless, Greek Peek is a small relatively small mountain. On top of that the park skiers/boarders are not of high quality. Bearing this in mind, Greek Peeks' park crew needs to keep their features on par with their riders skill level. When I was there they had some pretty abstract features that I thought were too difficult for the type of mountain it is. Don't get me wrong, weird features are my favorite features, but they should only be a fraction of the total amount of features in the park.

Another thing they need to work on is that god damn mo fudging jump. That thing was pathetic. It literally was a meter high. You'd be lucky to spin a 5 off of it, that's how bad it was. So......yeah bigger jumps....idk maybe more if they can fit any in.

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.
