rummy Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 This weekend, Saturday and Sunday is Octoberfest at Elk. You're all cordially invited. Practice riding the Elk Wagon, and take an exceedingly slow ride to the mountain top and enjoy the scenery. The Beer is Cold..... 1 Quote

Old Geezer Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 What are the local apres-ski watering holes/bars one could pop in after a day at Elk fest? I know Chet's, how about LIft Inn (if it hasn't fallen down yet), Candlelight, Arlo's and one more I can't remember. Quote

Schif Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 I was at Elk's Oktoberfest a few years ago. Very fun way to spend a day Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Sounds like it’s lit as fuck 1 Quote

Stop. 44 minutes ago, GrilledSteezeSandwich said: They’re most definitely shorter than at blue. I’ve been to both places the same weekend. Stop. It doesnt matter which runs are shorter, wider, longer, steeper, more like Vermont, etc. No skiing at Octoberfest. 1 Quote

Good point most of us won’t drive all the way to elk for skiing why would we go to octoberfest. Quote

saltyant Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Elk is my favorite place because I hit 57 mph for the first time. Quote

Its very wide and there was no one around. It was officially logged on my SkiTracks app which I verified to be accurate by comparison to car spedometer. You can check my Elk TR from last year for definite unrefutable proof 1 Quote

I know Chet's, how about LIft Inn (if it hasn't fallen down yet), Candlelight, Arlo's and one more I can't remember. Chets is always #1, the Lift has a new sign ;-) (haven't been there in years). Candlelight is under new ownership, foods good, large selection. Arlos will probably have some entertainment and good sammies etc. There's a new place near Arlos called the Speakeasy, heard it's pretty good. The Stonebridge Inn and Restaurant is closed, looking for new ownership.The Beacon bar and grille on 171 near Union Dale may be the other you're thinking of. Going upscale, Oliveris at Crystal lake is quite an experience but make reservations and always get the chefs' choice. Quote
