It's a book of coupons.... Not vouchers. See: www.elkskier.com/season-passes/ scroll down to B&F book for details there are different prices, for different age groups, for each book of 47coupons. More than 2books to same family gets an additional $30. off price. Disclaimer... This is info from Last Seasons website ....

Contains 47 coupons redeemable for lift tickets rentals and lessons. Not sure but something like 2 coupons for night skiing, 3 for midweek day, 4 for weekend/holiday lift tickets.. Last year's price $575 for adult book.

Just to throw out another option Salty. Our first trip out West was slopeside at Park City in a one bedroom condo. Ski storage near lobby, carry skis 25', click in and Ski! Plenty of intermediate terrain with some steeps if you like. A good introduction to Utah cruisers IMO. Free bus service outside your door to a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores. (Much more variety than Snowbird, because once there, that's it you're pretty well there.). The main street of PC is loaded with bars, restaurants, and shops... tourist traps and otherwise. You can get a shuttle bus to/from airport and won't need to rent a car as the bus service is excellent. Of course, YMMV Covid Crap and All....

I have an electrical engineer friend who, apparently is the only person in the country, that has the knowledge and experience to repair a certain complicated automotive carpet manufacturing machine. He has been flying all throughout this pandemic. Speaking with him last week he said airports were deserted earlier but are getting busier as time goes on. He also said he will only fly Delta as their planes are only booked half full, and says he avoids American, if at all possible, as they're a SH$%T Show...way overbooked.

A couple of guys who used to manage a ski shop (now closed) in the Deer Lake area of Schuylkill county, had pictures of them skiing the Culm Banks of Sch Co. In the Summer, without snow..... On old returned rental skis.....

I know your househotel. That's why I mentioned the Diner. Only saw one couple come in without masks and they left without ordering.... ??

Paved Paradise and put up a Parking Lot....

I had brunch inside the Starlite Diner last Saturday, tables spread far apart, lots of sanitation ongoing. No salad bar, waitresses masked, customers came in masked and masked up when heading to restrooms. Food was good as usual, menus were on disposable printed sheets and not as extensive as before. Not crowded.

And yet the PIAA is allowing HS sports to continue, only no fans allowed......

His best friend Bobby was on the chair with him. He called SP and was met up top by another personal friend from the SP. Bobby took close to two years before returning to ski. The patroller said it was one of his worst calls. RIP Glenn...

I had a friend who had a heart attack on the quad at Elk and died. He was 42....

Elk just announced on their Facebook site, that the Fall Festival is cancelled this year. AND the Kalahari purchase rumor is just that Fake News.....

No problem OG, didn't take it as a slam.... I'd like to share a brew or few with you at the Elk watering hole sometime..

I agree with OG. Probably BS my reliable source is now considered "unreliable".....

I contacted her to see if she was doing any cutting on the sly. She said no as she didn't want to take a chance of losing her license if caught. She's in a tough situation because her shop is set up within the nursing home and completely under the control of the the governors rules.

Me yesterday; 5 in line the 6th on the chair. Everyone wearing masks and complete sanitation of scissors, combs, clippers, brushes, and chair in between cuts. When next person in line got up to sit on barber chair, his empty seat was sanitized and another client was allowed to come inside from an outside seating area. Also had to sign a waiver before getting the cut. P.S. Probably the worst cut in my life! She only knew how to make one cut even after asking how you want it cut.... Oh well, my head's cooler..... My regular barber has her shop set up in a nursing home, and I would have looked like a gorilla before she can open up...

OP here. Even though I heard the info from a reliable source and fellow local property owner, nothing "official" has been announced. Until that time, let's consider this a rumor... OK? Ride Delaware and Old Geezer brought up many points I whole heartedly agree with. The Kalahari purchase was talked about last season. Also discussed was the purchase of the mountain South of Elk and the land in between, effectively increasing Elks' footprint three to four times its present size. The present owners own a huge amount of land surrounding the mountain, so I think acreage for development wouldn't be a problem with the right amount of BIG $$$. State, county and township infrastructure investment would be problematic. If the sale is true, I think Elks' owners decided they don't need all the uncertainties and headaches of the next several years... As I said... "We'll See" .

I am retired... Three + years and you have a hard time wiping the smile off my face 🙂

Hard to say, there are some other conflicting circumstances involved...

Heard from a reliable source that Elk was sold to Kalahari Water Resorts...... We'll See

Yea But.... They must be using an Amish horse and buggy delivery contractor. My microwave died on May 13 and the new one is supposed to arrive on Tuesday.... We'll see..

I went to my dermatologist on Tuesday. My temperature was taken by a gloved, masked and eye protected nurse in full PPE garb before I went into office. A mask was required for entrance. Inside almost all waiting room chairs were removed and the remaining were at least 6' apart. The staff taking your insurance info was also garbed and protected. The floors were marked "stand here" in front of registration, again with 6' separation. In the treatment room the nurse was fully protected and never got close to me, only typing into a laptop. When the Dr. arrived he was likewise protected as well as gloved. We discussed his business in light of current situation. He said they are slowly ramping up operations and were essentially shut down until very recently, only taking "emergencies" at the hospitals... I've had 18 squamous cell lesions removed from my arms and legs in the past 7 years.... WEAR SUNSCREEN. I can also tell you the names of most of the nurses pets..:-)

Yes ... A tradition we started on our first trip out West. 37 years ago. Our goal was to ski the "top 30" ski resorts in the West, as voted on by the readers of Ski Magazine. Our trip to Whitefish completed the goal. We also tried to ski many of the lesser known areas too. A few didn't have coffee mugs either so we would include their maps in resorts from the same trip.... Cooper for example. Also in that image is our "log book" which is filled with most of our trips to TLCITW as well as our many trips out West...

Yes a long time ago....
