You had me at craft tents.

I thought the chair lift rides would ...get you!

Friday, Nov 8, 2019. I notice Elk's webcam is online, and is showing actual, real, not-man-made snow top to bottom.  Not skiable of course, looks like an inch or two in depth but still a good sign for the coming season.

That Webcam is a fantastic sight!

[Old Geezer]

When I posted the camera was from the base boardwalk,  next to the ticket window. It had a full top to bottom view.

The Elk Facebook post says snowmaking to begin tonight....

How is that not skiable?

Was thinking the exact same thing.  Like half that amount of snow is skiable.

Owing to perspective, from age and experience.  If I were like 60 years younger yes maybe it would be. 

Pic below is what I saw, webcam view has now changed. Nice to see top to bottom snow of the natural variety.

anything is skiable with the right amount of dedication, and disregard to your bases. boulder has some of the best glade skiing in PA with this attitude.

Time to start planning Elk day sir.

The Elk-cam shows real snow is besting the snow guns once again.  That's twice in a week.

Do you think they’ll try for a November opening.

Elk looking nice for mid November. Looks like they blew on Tunkhannock Susquehanna East west and probably Tioga. The rest is natural. Photo taken 11/15 at 4:30pm

That's a great picture of elk. I don't think I've ever seen that view before

If it were high res it would be my phone wallpaper.

That really is a great picture. Just get 10 yards closer to get that power line out of the top.
