never night skiied at elk, would never want to, there are only a few lighted trails anyway. The mountain is pretty expansive, there are trails i still haven't skiied there. The amount of diamonds is amazing, and the feeling that you get when you're skiing there, its soo much differnet then skiing at blue mtn or anywhere else. It feels like the trees overhang all the trails, like the trails are there, they werent cut...i dunno, its a great place
