I have plans to travel ski Elk Mountain in Northeast Pennsylvania Saturday with a friend from Harrisburg. We make this trip almost annually. I go up Friday, stay over and we leave early Saturday.
It's supposed to rain on Friday, so I'm wondering:
What can I expect for conditions on Saturday?
Is overnight enough time for the snow operations to groom it up so it's not going to be solid ice? I only ski 1-2 times a year, so I'm inclined to wait for better conditions.
Other option
This is more of a longshot since it'd require more travel - how is Belleayre Mountain? It's another couple of hours from Elk and is likely to have fresh snow. I'm seeing the vertical is much higher too. I'm intrigued.
