My weekend is insane, otherwise sounds like a lot fun. Rummy I'll definitely have to catch up with you on Elk PASR day. Funny story. Was talking through my vacation day situation with my wife earlier; and to quote her "aren't you taking a day to go to that place? What's it called again... Moose?" haha
This weekend, Saturday and Sunday is Octoberfest at Elk.
You're all cordially invited. Practice riding the Elk Wagon, and take an exceedingly slow ride to the mountain top and enjoy the scenery.
The Beer is Cold.....
Many (30?) years ago I knew some guys from a local ski shop skied the culm banks during the summer. They had pictures and beat up skis in their shop to prove it.
*culm banks are mini mountains of waste processed coal.
