Elk was open yesterday, closed this week and may open next weekend (they say it depends on the weather, most everyone i spoke with up there yesterday said it depends on how many walk ups they sold yesterday...i did my part)

looks like they're getting snow up there today, so who knows

I've never done the free day at Mohawk. How crowded does it get?

i was there last year, it was pretty empty. i think i waited at most 30 seconds for a chair.

the weather that day was "eh" on a nice day (as sunday is predicted) you might get a better crowd.

i'd also expect the snow coverage to be a lot better this year.

some pics from last year, you can see the empty chairs

How was Elk? Most everything open? Bumps?

nice, as usual...they do a great job keeping that place in shape...it was firm in the shadows in the early morning, but groomed terrain was soft by 9am, especially where sun was hitting the surface...everything was open except lehigh (winding green, natural snow trail)...all bump trails open(iriquois, tunk, chippewa), but bumps never seemed to soften...i hit iriquois and chippewa, both rock-hard...i could see the surface glistening in the sun on tunk, so i avoided it...there was a hardcore crew of 4-5 guys and gals side-slipping down skier's left of tunk, scraping the tops off all the bumps and into the troughs, trying to get it in shape

wish i could get up there this weekend, but i dont see myself waking up early saturday after a night of 'furrthur' at radio city
