.... Susquehanna, Tioga, upper and lower Tunkhannock, east west and bunny trail.

Plus the ski school slope, and minus lower Tunk, these are the usual/minimal trails they open with.

 

Based on some quick math, they will have to stay open until April 21 to make the 100 day guarantee "add on" season pass holders have the option to purchase.

 

On a related topic, what did they do with the usual Xmas week camps/clinics/training sessions, postpone or cancel?

What happens if elk doesn't stay open 100 days?? Do pass holders get money back.

I believe you have an option between a pro rata refund and putting that same pro rata amount towards next years pass.

 

Has it always been an add on? I thought it was standard...

As if it isn't expensive enough...

I can't imagine there are a bunch of them outstanding depending on the cost...

It's dumb pay extra for a small chance you might save some money next year.

I'd have to find out price and history of season length in order to do a full cost benefit analysis.

There is no additional charge for the 100 day guarantee. Credit is pro-rated depending on the number of days fewer than 100. There is no cash back, only credit the following season.

 

An insurance policy, on the season pass, can be bought ($19.95 I think) that covers an injury which ends your season, again pro-rated depending on number of open days at the time of injury.

 

The Elk Wagon runs every weekend and holiday for sure. It will also run weekdays if the upper parking lot is full. Season pass holders do not get special parking privileges. A limited number of parking passes are available for purchase for two separate areas, the upper lot and the lodge lot (directly behind the main lodge). There is a waiting list for the lodge lot pass. We call it the "bar pass", and they are highly coveted. On weekends and holidays only parking pass holders are allowed in these lots, you may be able to park in the upper lot if you get there before security is set up, but never in the lodge lot without the pass. Also, handicap skiers can park in the upper lot anytime without needing a pass.

 

Snow-blowing started around midnight New Years Eve and has been continuous.
