Hope Lake Lodge at the New York Times Travel Show
http://ourvideosite.com/View/V2341 http://www.hopelakelodge.com Hope Lake Lodge! In 1958, New York's Governor, Averill Harriman, conducted the Opening Day Ceremonies for a new ski area called Greek Peak. The Governor called it afirst class development and predicted that it would make a real contribution to skiing in New York State.
By 1960, two T-Bars had been built and construction began on the A-Frame Lodge. A young Al Kryger (the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Peak Resorts, Inc.) was commissioned to build Central New York's first chairlift in 1962. Greek Peak recognized the potential for skiing and led the industry in developing the concept of packaging and selling to local schools and colleges. This philosophy, combined with early pioneering in snowmaking and night skiing, brought Greek Peak to the forefront of ski areas in the East.
In the early 1970s, Al Kryger had the foresight to begin planning for the next phase of Greek Peak's growth.
