Blue Mountain Ski Area

Blue Mountain Skiing offers the region's largest vertical drop and a serious skiing experience. The main lodge has been overhauled as has the parking area and there is the addition of a new high-speed detachable six-person lift. For snowboarders there is a half-pipe and two terrain parks. All totaled, they have spent well over 5 million dollars on upgrades throughout the mountain. Here you will find night skiing, excellent snow making, and very good grooming of the slopes. Summit Lodge or the Valley Lodge are great places to kick back and relax and have a bite to eat. There are four learning centers, two terrain parks, two full rental and repair shops, free babysitting, and a skiers store offering a wide range of ski products and accessories. If you are looking for a great ski are, Blue Mountain has it all and is sure to please.

There is something for everyone here - from bunny hills to challenging, advanced ones flanked by high speed quad lifts. There is a main lodge at the entrance and another at the bottom of a number of the slopes - a perfect place to stop off when it gets cold and you need a warm drink or a snack. Get to the tables early or you'll risk not getting one. Instructors are top notch and you will certainly love the varied, numerous trails - enough to keep you busy for hours on end. more

This is one of my favorite ski areas in Pennsylvania. Their trail system is diverse and their trails are very well maintained and groomed. They have plenty of lifts, including a high speed quad. At the bottom of the hill they have an area with drinks and snacks and they also have a lodge near the main parking and rental place. However, it has been my experience in the past that if you do not get there early, all of the seats will be taken, especially during the lunch hour. more
