I know Elk but I've never been to Hunter. Your thoughts? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's going to be this Wednesday. But after Mapquesting I think I'll just stick to Elk. I don't know that another 2 hrs each way is worth the 600 extra feet of vertical. I'll probably have everything to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schif Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I'm probobly going to be up at elk on thursday. I love it up there on weekdays when you have the place to yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went there in the very early season, and was amazed at how tall the mountain felt. 600 feet is pretty significant in terms of vertical. Though, I hear Elk is supposed to be a WONDERFUL mountain. Out of convenience and word of mouth I would stick to Elk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trtaylor Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I'm also planing to be at Elk on Thursday. Look for a red jacket, black Giro Nine helmet and a guy skiing on a pair of Head i. C160's. That'd be me. Tim I'm probobly going to be up at elk on thursday. I love it up there on weekdays when you have the place to yourself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Elk is awesome. They have some of the best trails. Jumps are fun, but there is nothing that can beat a nice long diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't judge a mountain on what it could be you judge it on what it is. Elk sounds more like my kind of mountain, but I must say, I had a lot more fun at bear than I expected.

Glenn Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 dthmtluncrn, you don't spend much time in the park? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most of my time is spent on blacks. I take park runs, bucause I like to be well rounded, and lots of air is fun to me. I've dabbled in jibbing as well. All in all though, if I could live 2 min from montage or 2 min from bear, I would have to pick being 2 min from montage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierboi Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Elk has good trails, except when i go on the double lift it either goes really slow or breaks down for like 15 min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
