Did you know that little round top is located near round top mountain in nearby Gettysburg…on the battlefield actually. the confederate army attempted to storm little round top to get the coveted higher ground. It didn’t pan out and the confederate army was pushed back. Had that happened there’s a good chance the south wins the battle, storms Washington and wins the war. Picketts charge happened near little round top on day 3. That effectively ended the battle and was the turning point of the war. Gettysburg is an amazing yet somber place. The country as we know it would perhaps not be had it not been for the events that occurred there. Probably best that I stop now as I can go on and on about the civil war.

Posted up at arcaro and genell for a tray of white and a tray of red for later tonight. Fantastic ski day today however.

Good to see you, big Al and crew as well. Got a few more left in me before I head out. Some of the bumps out here are officially VW category

When I grow up I wanna be just like you

You wearing the red hat?

I'll stop in and say hi

Because I was debating Elk or Greek peak. Thought about blue too but felt like changing it up a bit

Did I mention it's nice out her

No. It was incredible. I just walked into the snow near the quad... No cart needed. I still had to go to guest services so I rode the quad and skied down. They let me up

@bluemountain here's an idea... Perhaps it works as I counted 2 beer cans, 4 bottles and a coffee cup from base to the top. That's it

Lots of ungroomed. Will probably get into some of that later.

Well he should do something about these lifts cause they're pretty archaic. Hopefully his daughter can talk some sense into him

These lifts are so slow and I'm skiing solo so I feel like I'll be posting a lot today. Just warning you all now. Trade off is literally no one here coupled with spectacular snow conditions. @rummy are you around??

Beautiful bluebird day here at elk. Spectacular semi soft spring like snow. Sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. Cool to see that they have a modern ticketing system now although the kiosk would scan my barcode so had to go to guest service. Unfortunately the quad above tunk is down so they're running that slow ass double. Either way I'm in no rush today. Always like coming up here. Especially on days like this

Hell yeah man. Great stuff!

Not gonna lie. They look amazing.

99.9% headed to Elk today. I’ll see if I can get the low down on the sale from the ticket window peeps

Could be it for a bit.

Looks like they're getting ready to fire up the snow cannons

Side note .. The dark Forest section of switchback at night is back once again for the 23-24 season. Always a hoot skiing through that

Clear sky, stars and a giant moon shining bright in the Pocono sky this evening and quite pleasant out here temp wise. It's fairly quiet too. Solo lift rides and all that. I don't think I've been it in a Sunday night in a while and it's way nicer than a weeknight. The downside to sleeping in however... It's slick. Another side of the trails kinda night to adequately edge. Overall nice evening and the smell of the waffle Haus is always quite special in the evening

I was. There was a documentary on about an excavation in England...on the battle field where the Romans invaded the British back in ancient times. They found a Chariot and a sword. How cool

Slept in. woke up at 4 actually, then crashed around 5:30 and woke up gain around 8. By that time it was too late. I’ll be there later, after the crowds leave.

Today was fun. Firmer snow that I thought but it was nice to ski side and switch for the first time this season. Good day!

All of this is making me want to go to elk. Maybe this week.
