Old Geezer Posted September 2, 2020 Report Posted September 2, 2020 Elk has evidently decided it necessary to deny the rumor on a message on their main webpage. Quote

RidgeRacer Posted October 4, 2020 Report Posted October 4, 2020 It's a discount book I think. 1 Quote

Not sure but something like 2 coupons for night skiing, 3 for midweek day, 4 for weekend/holiday lift tickets.. Last year's price $575 for adult book. 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Big and Friendly indeed. Seriously. The only big and friendly book that I can think of are maybe like a vintage OG playboy...the Marilyn Monroe version, or maybe the Madonna issue from the early 80s. 2 1 Quote

Wow seems grate for a family who just skis a handful of days. Fantastic. I’m also guessing many of the coupons go unused sort of like gift certificates.

Might be a great option for those whining in another thread, although its more expensive than the season pass to the other PA mountain. Quote

I think the benefit is the coupons are transferable and can be used for lessons and rentals as well. If you’re a real elk mountain big shot, you probably want to have a season pass plus a coupon book when your friends come from the Deep South and get tired of the drive to Vermont so stop at your Villa at elk. Blue has the buddy pass and 10% off anything with season pass. Quote

Schif Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 I bet there is a way to make a coupon book worth while, though it would probably take more planning than I would be willing to do. Quote

Not vouchers. See: www.elkskier.com/season-passes/ scroll down to B&F book for details there are different prices, for different age groups, for each book of 47coupons. More than 2books to same family gets an additional $30. off price. Disclaimer... This is info from Last Seasons website .... Quote
JFskiDan Posted October 16, 2020 Report Posted October 16, 2020 Monday/Tuesday (when open)/ Wednesday/Thursday/Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday/Saturday (once night skiing begins) 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Elk has announced pricing and hours for this year. Closed on Mon/Tues except for like Christmas week, MLK, Pres weekend, etc. I'm not up on Elks hours previously, but night skiing looks to be only Friday and Saturday. $795 now, $855 after November 1, and $925 after December 1.

saltyant Posted October 16, 2020 Report Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I could see why Elk eliminated night skiing during the week. I went once and was pretty much the only person there. It was grate! Edited October 16, 2020 by saltyant Quote
rgrwilco Posted October 16, 2020 Report Posted October 16, 2020 Every time this thread gets bumped I keep hoping it’s about elk actually being sold.But yeah, elk is too far out there to really attract anyone at night. Why drive to elk if blue,can, and montage are all closer (for night skiing).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

At those prices I can't imagine Elk sells a season pass to anyone other than those who own real estate within 30 minutes of there. Insane that they ask more for an Elk pass than Vail asks for a pass to almost 50 ski areas. Quote

Vail also has revenue from 50 resorts that allows them to sell a pass for that amount, elk does not. 3 Quote

Maybe they sell a lot of passes to Scranton folks who think driving to Vermont is worth the drive. Edited October 16, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
