VIRGIL, N.Y. — Greek Peak Mountain Resort has added two downhill trails to its downhill mountain-bike operation.
Greek Peak started the division in 2015 with what it described as a “soft launch” involving three trails.
The venue is also incorporating its existing cross-country ski trail system for mountain biking, according to a news release Greek Peak recently issued.

The new trails include one designated “green” or “easy,” and the other marked as “blue” or “more difficult,” Greek Peak said.
The resort has a chairlift to bring guests and their bikes to the top of the trail. Bikers then ride down the designated trail system.
Greek Peak has also formed a partnership with Advance Cyclery of Syracuse.
The Advance Cyclery base camp, located at the base of the mountain, will have hours similar to the trail hours, Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
“We are pleased with the kick off to a long partnership with Advance Cyclery,” Travis MacDowell, sales and marketing manager at Greek Peak Mountain Resort, said in the news release. “They have over 35 years’ experience and are passionate about the cycle community. John Galli, co-owner of Advance Cyclery, brings extensive downhill racing knowledge, as well as being a master bike technician.”
Greek Peak Mountain Resort and Hope Lake & Conference Center are located in the town of Virgil, south of Cortland.
