Elk Mountain Pickup Times Calverton (253 Edwards Avenue): 4:00 AM Islandia Park and Ride: 4:25 AM Christopher Morley Park, Roslyn: 4:55 AM Court Square, Long Island City: 5:25 AM We depart Elk Mountain for the trip home at 4:30 PM The best ski area in PA. No question. Elk has 27 trails and 1000' vertical feet. The challenge is Vermont-like, the crowds are thin, and the place is gorgeous. Like, seriously. The mountain is basically covered in spruces, and we love it. Place looks great. And did we mention those slopes? They've got everything! They've got 'em steep and gnarly if that's your thang. But they've also got the easy stuff for newbies. You'll love Elk. Trust us on this one!
