   How about this gem from the current Elk Mountain brochure!

 

Lets see:

 

800 new trees -- check. While cutting down old growth forest along the way.

 

Extensive lift improvements -- At Elk??? Look the same to me and have since 1994!

 

New Elk Wagon -- Really !! What a convenience.

 

New Storage building -- Well they cleared the trash away, but no building yet.  So far is a virtual building.

 

Extensive main pond work -- refurbished the dam to further screw with the Villagers. 

 

No wonder they had to raise the prices again this year.

 

I do like the new t-shirts in the Ski Shop -- they say "Grow a Pair" of skis and Ski Elk Mountain!

love how the snowboard in the pictures is from the early to late nineties.. that brand has been in the dumps for a long time

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that too.

For some reason I remember reading about upcoming Kemper snowboards in some magazine when I was in a car waiting for my Dad to get done work. I remember it having a flat tail with a V cut out in the back. Well....he died when I was 16 so this is pre 1986.

Is that crazy or what?

Ok, well I'm apparently mixing something up a bit because Kemper snowboards was founded in 1987 according to the Internet search I just did, but I remember reading about it in the car because I wanted one and thought that it looked radical at the time.... Lol

Back on track: Elk Mountain may be the only ski hill in the world where painting the floor in a 50-year old picnic lodge is considered an annual improvement. 

 

For you historians, that would have been last season or -2 seasons ago.   Wait another 25 years and they'll do this "improvement" again!

All this Elk hate. I guess you guys never went off trail there and skied up and onto a guy's deck and then meandered through the trees until you found the Quad again.
