Elk mountain 2-27-24

Beautiful bluebird day here at elk. Spectacular semi soft spring like snow. Sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. Cool to see that they have a modern ticketing system now although the kiosk would scan my barcode so had to go to guest service. Unfortunately the quad above tunk is down so they're running that slow ass double. Either way I'm in no rush today. Always like coming up here. Especially on days like this

These lifts are so slow and I'm skiing solo so I feel like I'll be posting a lot today. Just warning you all now. Trade off is literally no one here coupled with spectacular snow conditions.

@rummy are you around??

Lots of ungroomed. Will probably get into some of that later.

With this new modern lift ticket situation, do you still need to park and get into that cattle truck? or is their a kiosk at the lift next to the lot you can redeem at?

[RidgeRacer]

@bluemountain here's an idea... Perhaps it works as I counted 2 beer cans, 4 bottles and a coffee cup from base to the top. That's it

It’s great, you can park right by the lift and scan your code at the kiosk.

No. It was incredible. I just walked into the snow near the quad... No cart needed. I still had to go to guest services so I rode the quad and skied down. They let me up

Good to see you, big Al and crew as well. 

Got a few more left in me before I head out. Some of the bumps out here are officially VW category
