Ski mountains are a popular winter destination for New Yorkers, crucial for drawing tourists to Central New York during colder months.
Greek Peak is planning to make snow on the mountain by the end of the week. As the winter weather outlook suggests, this season might be a slightly warmer one.
But Greek Peak doesn’t expect that it will deter visitors. In fact, they think there might be more people coming down the slopes.
