Nice report. Did you guys do 90 mph on the way up? Map says trip takes 4 hours; your report says you left at 6:30 am and arrived at 9:30 am!?

 We left from east of Harrisburg, not BeltwayLand, so we kept it under 90. I don't know if I ever had the stamina to drive as far as Elk, ski all day, and then go home. I did that for places like Camelback a few times as recently as about 15 years ago, but it's too much now.
