Elk is probably the best mountain in Pennsylvania. I actually have a season pass at another resort in PA, so that says a lot. First the good. These are great runs. Excellent trails, great snow and well maintained. This year they even installed a new RFID system which makes skiing even easier and more fun. Now the bad. The place gets crowded on weekends, as bad as Killington. They have no capacity limits and they take all who come. They also have zero mask or COVID enforcement of any kind. They claim to have a policy, but they don't enforce it. Now the ugly. Their lifts are in need of some upgrades. This past week one of the main lifts went out on 2 separate days, for the whole day. They had to 'rescue' people. Best thing to do is to show up on a weekend and ski the morning. You can ski every run by noon, and if you find anything you really like then you can ski it over again. You'll be able to leave before the crowds show up, have a great time. If you do that and it'll be worth it.
