Alphorn at Snowmass

Alphorners enjoyed an overnight ski trip to Elk and Blue Mountains on February 16 to 18^th.   Some of us drove to Clarks Summit on Monday and checked in at the Hampon Inn.   Per John Calarmara’s recommendation, we found this hotel to be a great choice – nice accommodations, pool, exercise room, very clean.  They had a very good free breakfast buffet which included a “make your own waffle maker”.  That evening we walked right next door to Tully’s which offered many excellent food choices.   On Tuesday we drove to Elk MT to join those who elected to drive to the mountain that morning.   Seven of us skied in the sunshine with excellent snow conditions.   Elk offers a $50 lift ticket every Tuesday to seniors!   After conquering the mountain, we drove to Kris and AR’s lake house on Lake Lorain.   We relived our ski day over Kris’s spaghetti and salad, and oh those delicious brownies.   Thank you, Kris and AR, for a very fun evening!    Then after dinner it was back to Clarks Summit to overnight, and then those delicious waffles on Wednesday morning.   Fog and light rain did not deter us as we drove to Blue Mountain.   Five of us enjoyed great conditions at Blue, no rain, no ice, no crowds.   Lunch at the upper restaurant was a satisfying ending for our fun overnight ski trip.    We all agreed we must do this trip again next year!
