Ski Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hunter is 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. from downtown Manhattan. Hunter has much more terrain and challenge, but is chock full of *ssholes. Picture the train as it pulls out of Yankee stadium toward Queens some hot August night after a loss. Those are the angry, beer soaked people you'll be spending close-quarters time with at Hunta. Elk is night and day different. Smaller, but decent fall line skiing/boarding. Quiet and out of the way, you might think you've made the wrong turn and are lost in barren farmland. Hunter has amazing snowmaking, but it all gets skied off by the thousands of Starter Jacket clad jerks by 11am. Hunter has nightlife; Elk does not. In fact, if you were 21, you could watch chubby drunk chicks strip their tops off on the bar, before barfing and passing out. Of course, the video is always posted on the internet within a day or so... My humble opinion: Elk any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skimom Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Elk has the nicest fall line in the Poconos, and it's almost never crowded. It's Iceman's favorite place to ski - Ever ride in a Cattle car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 He has such a way with words doesn't he? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's all true, though. I put in a lot of days there and a lot of nights partying. If Hunter were harder to get to from NYC/LI, then it would be a great place to ski. But it's not. I have 50 bad stories about the place and can't think of one good one. Elk may be a little over-rated with the superior snow quality thing and since I don't ski CB or Blue regularly anymore to make Elk's lack of crowds a big deal, it's still a great little area. Choosing between Hunter and Elk is like choosing between clubbing at the China Club in NYC and the old Zadars in New Hope, PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
