momskeeztoo Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Had a wonderful day there today. Snow was perfect- like velvet. They have 3 bump runs, we did them multiple times, no ice on them at all until very late in the day. I even did Upper Tunkhannock. So proud of myself 6 Quote

Also didn't encounter a single icy spot. Glad you had a great time. Quote

Must be an old picture, that fence is long gone. Sorry I won't be around to buy a hot cocoa to share. I have to be in Philly Friday. Have fun can't wait for the TR. Quote
saltyant Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Made it to Vermont!! Snow looks epic. Ski patrol said there's 2 inches of fresh over the groomed snow so it's going to be the best day of the season by far. Quote

rummy Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Salty, check out the "half-way house" 1/2 way down the West slope, skiers left. It's the locals hang out, picnic spot. Was Elks' original lodge 53 years ago.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Wow that lodge looks retro. I barely remember the lodge from my one visit to Elk in 1995. Quote

saltyant Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Just finished my $15 lunch and still hungry. Will have to go to the car to withdraw some Captains Wafers and Fig Newtons from my stockpile. Quote

Expand The Vermont locals all brought their lunches in the lodge. I meant to buy a Subway yesterday which would have been substantially cheaper but was too lazy to go out after work, so now I am paying the price. The upside is burgers at Ski lodges are very good.
