This weekend - 2/21-22...elk or montage


Recommended Posts

Solo day trip.  Trying to decide between elk or Montage.  

 

Never been to montage, but am intrigued by the talks of good trees.  Like the bump runs at elk.

 

How have these two mountains been skiing?  Any opinions on the best choice here?

 

(Of course, I might just go back to the blue as it's substantially closer, or at the other end of the spectrum, might decide to try to day trip belleayre....)

Montage has better tree options though I don't know what coverage is like.  Schiff would know.

Bad few weeks for me to comment on conditions as I haven't been out much, but from what I have seen conditions at Montage will be pretty good. They have been making snow on the northface a night or two a week to freshen up the surfaces in addition to the natural snow so it should be pretty good this weekend. I'll be out on Saturday Morning unless something comes up.

i was up at montage a couple of weeks ago and conditions were bangin'.  I expect that they are still good given the lack of warm temps and they continue to blow snow there.

Montage is sweeter than high fructose corn syrup right now. Fresh stuff everywhere. Long haul is running. There is a bar made of snow.

Made the drive up to Belleayre instead.  Great day.  Snow was perfect.  Woods open everywhere.  Guess they got 5-6" Sat. night.  Great day.  Long drive, but worth it this time...
