VIRGIL — Wes Kryger, long-time president of Greek Peak Mountain Resort, was recently inducted into the SKI NY Hall of Fame at a special ceremony up at the mountain. The event was held on Nov. 7 at The Lookout at Hope Lake at the resort in the town of Virgil, with a presentation being given by Scott Brandi, president of SKI NY. The SKI NY Hall of Fame Award is given to an individual who has made significant contributions by rendering their time, effort, and skills to the betterment of the organization in support of skiing and snowboarding in New York state. SKI NY says it is dedicated to the continued growth of the New York snow sports industry by working on behalf of its membership to promote fair legislation, develop marketing programs, create educational opportunities, and enhance public awareness of snow sports throughout the state and region, according to the organization’s website. Kryger has served the New York state ski industry in his various roles on the SKI NY and National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) board of directors. He is a former chairman for SKI NY and is also a current member of the legislative and nominating committees. “Wes joins a long list of New York State ski industry leaders as a recipient of this award, including his father, Al Kryger, who was inducted in 1989. He’s been a lifelong ambassador of snow sports, and it is a well-deserved honor,” Brandi said in a Greek Peak news release. Greek Peak Mountain Resort, founded in 1958, is Central New York’s largest ski resort. It has 45 ski trails and 11 glades, six chair lifts, two surface lifts, a tubing conveyor lift, a beginners’ slope, and new and improved terrain parks. The four-season family resort is located just minutes from Interstate I-81.
