Think about the post above mine 

[RootDKJ]

Ok

[rummy]

A friend at Elk skis his age on his birthday.  Last year he was 60 and skiied 63 runs.  He gets on the mountain with the ski patrollers before official opening time and skis until almost 10:00 .  Rides the double at lodge and only skis Susquehanna.

We think he's a little crazy....

Reminds me of Boston Bob a Stowe regular who only skis liftline and only rides the quad and skis Mach schnell every run..he's done 100k vert days at Stowe. Also is known to ski shirtless in th spring and he has a pudgy physique.

With Elks lifts he probably finished those 60th b-day runs just after turning 61 (i kid I kid)

My goals since turning 40 is to get as many days as my age.

Well you had me chuckling, but midweek you can get 5 1/2 runs per hour.  So, he theoretically can get his 60 runs in between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm but he does stop into lodge for a beer a couple times throughout the day.

Was that mostly on the lift that's in the front the Sullivan 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

You can easily get that much vertical in 4 hours of only groomers at stowe or Jackson hole. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Blue would take about 6 hours

Mostly both high speed lifts, but I think I used some of the slower lifts, like Old Bailey, once the New Jersey gapers flooded the lines on Sullivan & Stevenson.

We do a round trip run in about 11 minutes, so depending on the lift, I'll say about 7-8 minutes on average. 3-4 minutes a run.  

(Give or take a minute)

Best I've ever done off the six pack at Blue is 8 in an hour...ever since they added the RFID turnstyles 7 is more likely. 5 up two down max

Pretty impossible to do over 7 an hour unless the lift doesn't stop so really only the first hour or a real empty day that's possible. Usually first two hours at Blue on a weekend on 7-6 the first two hours or 7-5. Very rare to not be able to get 4-5 runs an hour in with moderate lifelines although I'm usually in the parking lot or at home if it's really crowded.

At Elk we can usually get 10 runs in before the lines get too long, around 10:30 on weekends. But, that's ok we'll take another run and be in line for the bar opening at 11:00 ;-) 

If conditions are really good we'll go back out around 12:15 for a few more runs until the lunch break crowds come back out, about 1:30----- then it's boots off and back to our reserved seats at the bar.

How bad are the crowds at Elk on weekends? Is it worth going? I went on a Friday last year and it was amazing, truly like skiing in Vermont. Considering a weekend or two this year, but not if I have to stand in line all day long.

I love how this thread's initial topic was BC, but instead every other mountain is discussed.

Avoid the holiday weekends and lines aren't too long. We're spoiled skiing mid week so 5-10 minute waits are too long.

Sunday's are always less crowded than Saturdays, especially Sunday afternoons.
Seems most people buy only a morning ticket on Sundays.

If you want a real treat, come midweek and you'll feel like you own the mountain.

Also night skiing is empty but the lighted trails are limited.

Like Blue, the race teams and various organised races put Slalom off limits ( one of Elks black diamonds) on most weekends.
