You apparently have to wait at the ski school part of the lodge for those tickets. The options are listed before you, including a “first time” package which I was interested in to learn the ins and outs of skiing. Once we got there, there was a long wait to even buy your lift ticket. I am not an avid skier by any means, I was visiting from florida and my boyfriend and I tried to visit.

Conditions were soft, crowds nonexistent, relaxed vibes, very pretty mountain due to all the trees.

Best moguls are on upper Tunkhannock.Ĥ:00, hit portable bathrooms at bottom of quad, and walked right to our car. Note: Decent pitch on all the blacks on both sides so not best for moderate intermediates that are still a little unsteady with pitch, just fyi, but not extreme either so anyone will be fine. Skied across to the quad side, finished up on quad side. Took lodge doubles up a few times and hit some blacks. Bar (sitting at a bar stool) doesn’t serve food, so just grab a table if you want food. Beers, food, cool servers, live music, no kids. Noonish rode Tioga trail over for lunch at the restaurant.

Pro tip: portable bathrooms by the quad, nice. Lift line picked up a little around 11:00 but still moves fast, under 5 min at any lift at any time. Skied a couple blacks both groomed and ungroomed, all good. Skied some blues, no lift lines at the quad. Rode the doubles, no line, by the lodge to the summit and did an easy ski across top to the quad side. There is also a bathroom upstairs by the restaurant. Used bathroom downstairs of lodge, clean.

Scanned QR code on phone for my lift tix at an outside kiosk right up some stairs where shuttle drops you, under 30 seconds. Also, I think there might be a tix kiosk near quad but not 100% sure, I wanted to start off at the lodge and never thought to confirm very likely. Note: if you have a ticket already that you reloaded you can walk right up to the quad next to shuttle without going to lodge. Shuttles are every couple minutes, no need to run to catch one. Walked 30-60 seconds and jumped on a flatbed shuttle for a quick 60-90 second ride up a hill to main lodge area. The resort did have games to borrow and sleds for the kids to play on the hills in the area.Day trip, Sunday Mar-2023, haven’t been since b4 pandemic. The snow and ice was challenging and restaurants are definitely a good 15-20 minute drive, as well as grocery and shopping. This resort and the mountain are in a very rural area in a hilly area and we were glad that we rented a truck to drive up there. Be warned that this resort is definitely not near very much to do-Scranton is not far, however most museums and points of interest were closed due to COVID. There is even a sauna and hot tub in the room for post-ski relaxing. We had a decent amount of snow during our stay and we discovered a leak that wet the living area carpet (which was obviously not a new incident as we could see stains from water damage.) Other than some maintenance issues, the rooms had queen beds and a good amount of closet storage and drawer space for your items. It was disappointing that the pool and game area (including the laundry facilities) were closed for renovation but the staff let us use their housekeeping facilities so we could wash clothes a few times. Resort staff was friendly, helpful and ready to assist when we needed something. Modest mountain resort that is a great location for skiing at Elk Mountain, which is a nice family ski destination in the Eastern PA mountains.
