PSUFrankenstein Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 Montage is claiming 5" of snow, so I would imagine Elk got the same, if not more. And yeah, I doubt Elk will be crowded. Quote

You said you were done skiing for the season the other day though which is why I questioned it. I was done because spring is a major stoke stomper for skiing, but I looked at Elk's webcams and it looks amazing up there. Blue's webcam, not so much.. Edited March 22, 2019 by saltyant 1 Quote

You’ll go skiing on Root Friday when it’s cold and crowded and only one run open but not now when it’s warm and empty and everything is open. 1 Quote

saltyant Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 Have fun skiing icy death at Blue the True. You should come to Vermont tomorrow and ski all the freshly groomed white fluffy perder. It's going to be sick bird. Quote
rummy Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Posted March 22, 2019 Go Salty... My thoughts are; Elk will groom almost all their trails. Upper Tunk and Chippewa will probably be ungroomed on top of their natural, not seeded, bumps. Skiing will be excellent. You will have uncrowded slopes and uncrowded slow lifts. Enjoy! Enjoy! Unfortunately, our crew will be among the missing this weekend. However, we are planning on spending all next week at our own private resort! And TLCITW!! 2 1 Quote

Hope there aren't any wind holds on the lift since it's going to be windy AF, but I think that only applies to high speed lifts or gondoobies... Edited March 22, 2019 by saltyant Quote
enjoralas Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 I would actually consider Elk tomorrow, but have to keep up my streak of never missing a Season Passholder party Quote

saltyant Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 Fun fact: it's only 27 minutes longer for me to drive to Vermont (a.k.a. Elk) than Blue Mountain the True Mountain. Quote

Packed powder is my second favorite condition type. My favorite type is real powder in the Colorado Rockies. One of my least favorite types is frozen ungroomed granular.
