Old Geezer Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I notice Elk does not have their 2009/2010 rates and season pass prices up yet. And I heard from some old-timers they have not mailed out their forms to obtain a pass yet. What's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm just going to chalk this one up to Elk being Elk... Don't read too much into this... I am sure there is nothing going on except for a few down to earth local employees have not been able to put the flyers together yet... It will happen in due time...

My bud Herm contacted Elk's office on Tues of this week. Elk's response was they just got the letters back from the printer today (Tues) and would be in the mail that night, that's for the SP and the Big and Friendly Book. Mgmt also said they haven't finalised the daily rates yet and that's why they aren't on the website. ??????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rummy Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Got the letter this AM. Adult SP $695. if purchased before Oct. 12, 2009. They also commented on the new snow making pond and pump and said they'd be able to pump out more snow. Plus another 1300 trees planted.

I'm a fan of Elk and all but $700? and that's an early season discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, here's how we look at it. The first run costs us $695. and the rest are FREE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The first run costs us $695. and the rest are FREE... lol...That run better at least be Tuscarora to Iroquois in about 10 inches of Wasatch like powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackbiker Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 lol...That run better at least be Tuscarora to Iroquois in about 10 inches of Wasatch like powder. 7% increase over last year. That's a pretty hefty increase in these economic times. Most of the VT areas haven't posted their new day ticket rates. I think they're all waiting for one of them to lead and the rest will follow.

skierdaddy Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I don't think a 7% increase is that crazy..the cost of energy..especially electric is on the rise..I do know Elk has alot of specials and $15 days on Fridays..the Blue Crue might have to take a field trip sometime.. Yeah, it is a steep price for a Pa mtn, but I will pay more each year if they keep Elk the way it is and not succumb to condos, hotels and waterparks high speed lifts and out of control crowds.

CaptDave Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ... keep Elk the way it is and not succumb to condos, hotels and waterparks high speed lifts .... Not worried about that but curious to see the effects of the "other" industry moving into town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they would try to keep it to 5% or less. While I'm sure they have a contract for electric, it must be hard to try to guess what your expenses for gas and diesel are going to be 6 months out. And whether skier visits will be up or down and what is the weather going to be like? I'll gladly pay for Elk as well as long as they keep the quality of the experienc up. It's a well run ski area. Anyone know why they though they had to widen Susquehanna? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
