I guess they need something to justify the price of the SP.  Not hating on the place, just hating on the price of the SP.

 

 

Not arguing with you...

 

But it's how you look at it...

 

We say the first run costs us $695 (senior rate) and All the Rest are FREE....

Its all location based in PA.  If i lived close to Elk, i would be handing them too much money for a season pass and enjoying myself.  It does kill me though, that they probably have the best terrain for trees that are off limits.

elk is the only mountain ive been to in the past 10 years where more people were not wearing helmets than those that are.  however, most of them were 60+ and I know old people are stubborn when it comes to helmets, seatbelts, etc.  some of the old guys in my ice hockey league refuse to wear face masks

I don't know about you but that new kitchen equipment really gets me stoked.

I think they are creating density to discourage tree skiing.

You're probably right. Do they not see the irony in comparing it to Vermont then? And why people should rip them for doing so? I say this all the time. Cool place but their marketing is terrible.

I'm only at work to make money. I've already had three families in the office so far today and only sold to one of them. When I have enough money to retire I'm done.

 

Maybe if I did something like worthwhile to society I'd feel differently but I'm right there with you. I don't mind my job but I wouldn't spend one more second here if I didn't have to.

Hey rummy, how is this going to go over with the locals?  An unfortunate upgrade to the parking lot at the bottom of the Lenape.

 

The sign's been there for a while....the fence WTF,??,

they sure are alienating the regulars who support them..

 

Management will probably say you can still access the quad, you just can't ski to it anymore.

 

Octoberfest this weekend, I'll probably get some feedback.

I guess I didn't realize you could ski down to the quad from a lot.

 

That's the reason the location was so well liked. There was no need to ride the Elk Wagon or buy a parking pass to the upper parking lot on the weekends.

You still needed a valid pass to get on the quad, but you'd be able to start skiing immediately.

It also made those peace trips to your car in the parking lot easy...
