Good choice for a Pennsylvania resort. 1000ft vertical, good trail variety including steep trails (incl some with moguls) for advanced skiers to gentle slopes for beginners and intermediates.

Trail maintenance, snow making and grooming appear to be very good
Ok base lodge (maybe better than average).

Best part, at $69 for a full price weekend lift ticket, Elk is a great value.

Most in need of improvement, zero high speed lifts (-10 min to top). Of course, this probably drives the reasonable lift prices.
On the positive, 4 full vertical lifts, including a quad, so even on a busy Saturday, lift lines were <5 minutes.

Overall, recommended.
