Discount tickets for Elk? Next you are gonna tell me occasionally you see a Elvis riding a Unicorn at the summit running through the newly planted trees.
Oh yes, I'll be there..... and I don't stop and gawk at the scenery.
One exception, my knees don't do bumps anymore.... And another, I usually take a trip to NH early January.
Mohawk, Tuscarora, Iroquois and Lackawanna have been the last few trails to open the last several years. They concentrate on opening the West (quad) side first.
If elk isnt fully open or close to fully open the Christmas week then we'll pick another day but ElK PASR day is happening. Trails like Slalom, Iroquois and Mohawk would definitely need to be in play. Rummy are you down to ski with us?
If the PASR crew makes the trip on a Wednesday in January or February I should be able to get discount coupons for $25 lift tickets. Has to be a Wednesday, and that was the fee other years.....
They usually open with 5, but that includes the beginners and the West slope (1/2 way up mtn). They've had most of the mountain open by that week too, all depends on the weather.
One thing, when they open a trail it is wall to wall with excellent conditions.
