Visitor Reviews of Elk Mountain Ski Resort
- Tom Travis from United States writes:
Elk Mountain is easily my favorite ski area in Pennsylvania. It is on the highest mountain in eastern Pennsylvania, which rises to 2700 feet, with wide, pretty views from its summit. It has a variety of nicely pitched, interesting intermediate and expert trails from its summit on vertical drops of about 920 to 980 feet. Its 27 trails are sufficient to hold my interest for a couple of days of skiing. Its snow is generally good and well groomed. When I ski at Elk, I feel like I am in Vermont.
