DiMe Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Hey all, I went up to Elk today to get some riding in before everything in PA is closed and I was fairly suprised w/ the amount of snow they still have considering this ridiculasly warm weather. There were quite a few puddles getting onto and off the lifts but most of the trails still have good cover. Heres some pics I took today around 2pm w/ my phone.
bigdaddyk Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Yeah, it was still decent, considering the warm temps all week. Although, I noticed a big difference from Tuesday up to Today, but they are doing a good job pushing snow around. I was there today from 8:30 to 11:30. The pond skimming at the top of the lifts was an added feature.
bigdaddyk Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) how is their so much snow??? Elk's in Susquehanna County and it's usually 5-10 degrees colder there, than CB. They also tend to get more snow, from lake effect bursts. I heard they got about 3" of new snow just last weekend . They also do a hell of a job grooming, pushing snow around, and making snow. There are still a couple large snow whales to the right of the Susquehanna trail, that they take snow from. Their slalom trail looked like it was in mid-winter form, today....of course it was closed for the weekend races. Edited April 1, 2006 by bigdaddyk
bigdaddyk Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Those pics came out pretty good, for a phone. What type of phone do u have?

Tyler Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 wow they have plenty of snow not to be closing today....im sure they could make it another week.
skidude Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 wow they have plenty of snow not to be closing today....im sure they could make it another week. I was up there all weekend, and I think this was about the last day they could stay open. If they wanted to keep 3 dimond trails open for another few days they probably could, but other than that, they are just about out of snow.
bigdaddyk Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 wow they have plenty of snow not to be closing today....im sure they could make it another week. I was there at the beginning of the week and at the end. They lost a LOT over the course of five days.
