Schif Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Does anybody know whats going on with Elk? I havent heard anything on them yet this year in terms of snowmaking/opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier32 Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 their pic of the day on their site showed tons of snow, but idk anything about an opening date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Do they even blow? I heard they get enough natural snowfall they dont need to blow, but I could be totally wrong. Either way I'm heading up there a couple of times this year, supposed to be a really nice mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidude Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yeah they have to blow up there. They get a lot more snow than CB or Blue, but still not close to enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sno Mountain Skier Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 elk blew for only two nights this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I'd be pumped if they were they beat out CB, Blue, etc to be open. I'd def take a trip up there to ride for the first day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elk has a certain feel when you ski there. I think the "feel" is partly there because you feel like you're in the mountains. No tower mountained guns (all their guns are moveable tripod guns) and no lights (only on a few trails) obscure the natural beauty of the mtn. So its you, snow, and trees. I think the lack of tower mounted guns could be why they aren't a snowmaking powerhouse that Blue is. That aside they do get alot more snow (it's already snowed 1 inch down here, and next day when i skiied at elk they had 6+ inches), they don't seem to get terrain open that quickly, and I doubt they'd beat Blue or Shawnee to open.
