VIRGIL, N.Y. — Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Virgil in Cortland County says it is using terrain-based learning on the mountain this season.
Terrain-based learning (TBL) is a process for teaching beginner ski and snowboard lessons. It uses purpose-built snow features to help the guest learn the movements, sensations, and body positioning needed to ski and snowboard, per the Greek Peak announcement.
Greek Peak describes TBL as an “award-winning, revolutionary” method of introducing new guests to snow sports that make learning to ski or snowboard “easier and more fun.”
