Wow, I had no idea.



Didnt they have tons of bare spots though? Hopefully someone reports back on how good it was today. Might be worth a trip tomorrow or Saturday. Might not.

...14", and Elk is only reporting 7"-8", it's already too late for me to go today but i may have to hit CB tomorrow although i've a crazy feeling that tomorrow Elk will still be the better choice. Anyone here going?
On their website they report 16-18 inches, so why Elk over Camelback? Too far for me and I'm headed to Vt. Enjoy!

Well thats nothing to complain about, unfortunately Vt is too far for me to do a day trip.
Had i been able to go today, with that dumping i would've hit CB despite it (and big boulder but no way i'll go there), being the only two in this area open today. I'm guessing If they actually got that much snow, it'll be skied off the diamonds or groomed down by tomorrow.
Elk is a better mountain with more advanced terrain, slopes are wider and ski longer before boring run-outs. Plus it's further north so colder temps at or below freezing Fri and Sat, to keep the snow they have. If CB got a wet snow i suspect it'll be a slush fest with their temps going above freezing.
Of course i could be wrong and unless i'm convinced otherwise will prob hit Elk tomorrow.

According to Elk's website, they're still charging $48 and $58 respectively for weekday/weekend? If that's true price is a factor as well with CB at $25.
