You've got a couple of very suggestive doodles there Ridge....

They have a special wide wheeled, four (maybe 8 ?) wheel drive mower. Several years ago an employee died while mowing the slopes. A rollover. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I thought the chair lift rides would ...get you!

This weekend is Octoberfest... Last chance to get the best price on your Season Pass for this season. Chair lift rides to see Fall Foliage, entertainment in the bar, a bike tour of the area, and craft tents set up with local vendors. AND a New Website! www.elkskier.com....

I saw one work over a dead honey bee last week, he made a nice crunch as I squashed him...

Rarely... New Years Eve a couple of times, 30 or so years ago.

OK, but I won't allow you to ski them...

Got my Letter today.... As previously discussed; new pond for more snow making capacity. New Windows in restaurant. Tree planting continues. Season Pass prices unchanged. (Second year in a row.) Operating hours changed; closing Monday and Tuesday at 4:30pm, and Sunday at 7:30pm to allow for more snowmaking. "Certain weeks" we will continue to be open until 10:00pm.... #ElkaholicRummy....

I didn't get my official "improvement " letter yet, but I imagine they did. I'll let everyone know.. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Elk built another new pond this summer.... Should be filling up nicely.

My uncle, lieutenant Wallace W Furman, was a fighter/bomber pilot in WW11. He island hopped in the Pacific theater until finally in position to fly daily strafing/bombing runs on mainland Japan. One morning briefing, before their daily mission, he and the other pilots that day were ordered to be off the mainland and returning to base at a certain time... No excuses. As he left the mainland to return he felt this enormous shock wave, he turned in his seat and saw the mushroom cloud rising above Hiroshima. Of course he had no idea what it was. Upon his return to base he was told he witnessed history and hopefully an end to the war.

We've been going out West for the past 32 years. We used to be the (almost) first on the mountain, and last off. Now we mosey onto the mountain after a leisurely breakfast, ski a few runs, stop for lunch (accompanied by a bloody), take a few more runs and find a nice spot to watch the scenery walk past, have a beer or two, then go back to the accomodations. Take a shower, have dinner and usually fall asleep in front of the TV... I've learned; "Life is not a Race, It's an Adventure"....
