Elk Mountain was one of the first commercial ski areas to open in Pennsylvania. In 1959, Elk featured a small base lodge, a 2,200 foot T-Bar, some rope tows and several slopes.
Today, Elk has seven lifts and 27 slopes, including some of the most challenging terrain in the region. The resort also has its own distinctive character; the resort regularly plants Norway Spruce and red and white pines. Since the late 1970’s, over 30,000 trees have been planted. Elk Mountain says that White and Norway Spruce trees withstand the weight of snowfall, establish well in Elk’s rocky terrain, and function as a wind break for the chairlifts. Plus, they look cool.
