I try to get to elk a few times a season. Some of the best snow and the best people to ride with. Love the small resort vibe and friendliness.

My friend has a beautiful home in the Poconos and we thought wed try this mountain being that weve been to others nearby. Elk Mountain was fun and cute! It was one of the smaller mountains but the blue runs were exciting and beautiful views! The ski lifts were slower than expected with no ski/snowboard rests for your feet; however, the lines were not unbearable. It was not overcrowded and the families and children enjoy the mountain were all very inviting! Best run was Slalom in my opinion and so were the chicken nuggets!
