Elk Mountain Reviews

Conditions were awesome today! Almost all trails were open and those that were not were blowing snow continuously. Friendly staff and friendly skiers in the lodge. All around a great resort!

I'm new to Elk this season and I love it! It really does compare to the Vermont resorts. Best skiing is from 8:30 to 12:30.

We love Elk - best in the extended Pa Poconos area!

Overall this is one of the best ski mountains in the Northeast. They always have plenty of trails open. They have a lot of green ( beginner ) trails which I love and they are long and wrap around the mountain.

Elk is the greatest Big little mountain - it gives you the big mountain experience with a small town, friendly feel. Family happy place, but also great for singles and has a great apres-ski feel, too.

Nice early holiday surprise.

Elk Mountain is a fantastic place to go for skiing and snowboarding. The slopes are always well groomed. An exciting attraction here, is the terrain park. the terrain park is filled with plenty of challenging ramps and jumps. There are a lot of different trails to go through and i always look forward to finding new adventures every time i go. Another thing that is good, is the food. The restaurant had great food and drinks. these are some of the things I like the most at Elk Mountain.

Great ski trip. Very helpful staff. Great slopes, well groomed. good times! They should have wifi in the lodge.

I love skiing at Elk Mountain. The trails are always well groomed and they accomodate all ski levels. Great lodges, roomy and clean.

Condtions are amazing . . . beautiful mountain to ski at . . . . not your typical Pennsylvania Ski Area. Fall line skiing

Great skiing conditions with very short lift lines. Conditions ranged from deep powder to icy spots on the same trails. Windy on top of slopes to sunny conditions on the bottom by the lodge. Would recommend Elk Mountain for anyone looking for great day skiing. No waiting for parking lot shuttle.

Perfect weather conditions, light snow, deep snow at spots mixed with icy conditons. Very few people for s Winterfest day. Trails were not groomed very well. Trails were skied hard the previous day.

Great weather and skiing conditions, few icy patches, short to no lift lines, people spread out across ski runs. Lodge busy during lunch time.

Great ski conditions, windy on top of hill but trees reduce wind on trails. No lift lines.

There on 1/2/10. 60% open, but everything was very good conditions. Groomed, fast and uncrowded. Snow making on unopened trails, cold & windy. The tree cover really helps, especially on the lift. Great place to go!

I had never been to Elk Mountain before and I really enjoyed the longer trails, shorter lines and overall skiing experience.

went skiing with a large group on friday jan 16th. Temperature was a BONE CHILLING sub zero, but thank dog the sun was shining brightly and there was NO wind. Surface was packed powder/HARD PACK making for one of the FASTEST surfaces I have ever skied. As the early afternoon sun dipped lighting got a bit tricky. We did have the mountain pretty much to ourselves with zero wait at the lifts throughout the day, thanks, I am sure to the ridiculously cold temps. My ONLY big issue with the mountain Friday was there was ONLY ONE BUMP RUN! #10 TUNKHANNOCK, was the ONLY place to find moguls. I wish that when they groom the trails, that they leave a side UNGROOMED for the bump skiers to "play". ELK Rocks though, and is a great GEM for PA skiers.

perfect conditions not many people will go up again

Excellent day of skiing. Lift line waits less than two minutes. Lodge only crowded during lunch hours. No crowds on slopes. Skiers dominated the snow boarders. Few people on the terrain parks. Nice long runs from top of hill to bottom by lodge. Some icy patches on upper part of hill, lower side all packed powder. Shuttle from parking lot to lodge running consistently during the day. Less than one minute wait for shuttle in the morning and at end of day. Only drawback, slow chair lifts.

Saturday(2/1) was agreat day at Elk.The bitter temps had not quite arrived yet. The coverage was great. They were blowing snow on the 3 unopened trails.The lift lines moved quickly and I was only a little cold on the lift. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service were very good. I highly recommend this mountain.Skiing Elk is the closest anyone will get to skiing in Vermont without actually being in Vermont.

VERY FRIENDLY RESORT ,TRAILS FOR ALL LEVELS.GREAT STAFF VERY HELPFUL FREE STICKERS,NOT TAKEN OVER BY SNOWBOARDERS LIKE OTHER LOCAL RESORTS LIKE BLUE WELL WORTH THE TRIP 2 HOURS 15 MINUTES FROM PHILADELPHIA
