New for 2023 - 2024

Situated in the beautiful Endless Mountains, Elk Mountain offers 180 skiable acres with 27 trails ranging from green to blue to black diamond, featuring a trail for every skill level. It’s a favorite resort for those of you looking for challenging terrain. Elk is committed to maintaining the beauty of the natural landscape of the Endless Mountains and has a tree planting program that dates to the late1970’s. This season Elk transplanted 900 500 White and Norway Spruce trees to its slopes. Extensive changes were made in the rental shop including the addition of boot drying racks, new helmets and snowboard boots. The snowmaking system was updated with replacement piping and several new sets of snowmaking hydrants. A new tractor was also purchased to mow the lower slopes and parking lot perimeter. The parking lots were patched and additional paving was completed. 

Elk Mountain is set in the "Endless Mountains" about a half hour north of Scranton. It boasts a 1000-foot vertical drop, 180 acres of skiable terrain, 27 trails, and a big terrain park, the Stompin' Grounds. Five doubles and a fixed-grip quad provide uplift; four of these including the quad run from the base to the summit. Quality snow, challenging and diverse terrain and a committed staff have allowed Elk Mountain to be your premier ski facility. Since 1959, Elk has been a name you can trust. It's like skiing in Vermont without the drive. 

Terrain

Two long beginner trails, Lehigh and Tioga, run from the summit, but skiers and riders make the trip to Elk for its top-to-bottom blue and black cruising terrain. With ten of the former and 11 of the latter they are rarely disappointed.

If you're not quite ready to keep up with your faster friends or play in the park, fear not. Elk's certified ski and board school is complemented by some excellent learning terrain. Start on the wide-open Beginner's Slope then graduate to the spacious East and West Slopes. Two double chairs serve this terrain.

Impeccable grooming and aggressive snowmaking keep the slopes in good shape, augmented by five feet of natural snow a season. The base complex features a large day lodge, all guest services, the ski school center, a restaurant, rentals, and a ski shop.
