Elk actually had Seneca open this past weekend which is a natural snow trail.(I believe) Besides that there has been some snow in the woods but nothing skiable at Camelback. Snowmaking was good though and Camelback is 100% open.

Yeah, an entire ski season, and Elk is the only place that picked up natural snow. It's mindboggling. I skied in the Poconos growing up, and I cant ever recall this happening. No snow on the ground in Vermont in February was a bizarre sight as well. This "winter" was just an horrible outlier for skiers, and a wonderful thing for golfers.

Here in south central PA, we've received a 4-inch storm towards the end january and atleast 2 2-inch storms putting us at 8". Average for Harrisburg is 12".

Thanks to all of the high efficiency fan guns installed at roundtop, whitetail, and libertythe conditions have been good. The rain today is seriously shortening the season. The 3 hills may be done by next week.
