Amazing place for beginners and intermediate snowboarding. I went on Monday and Tuesday same week, it was very nice overall. The express lift is something, I can get more runs in an hour here than I was able to get at belleayre. Will come back again
Nice little ski resort in the Poconos. Perfect for beginners with a carpet lift and a bunny hill on one side. Good for intermediate skiers as well with some green, blue and black diamonds. They have 2 quad chairs and other chairlifts as well, so good for families as well. Was there on presidents day and lots of people. After 3 or 4 it got less crowded, and they are open until 9pm.
Slopes and facilities are great. Staff. Ery friendly and helpful. Food offered in lodge priced fairly.
Felt a bit over crowded after 11am. Some skiers were very obnoxious though. Stopping right after they get off the top of the lift causing pile-ups of people falling over each other and rudely banking into my personal snowboard with their rental equipment on line. Not only happening to my group. Almost saw a couple fights break out over how inconsiderate and rude some of the guests were being with other's space and equipment.
I feel like more signage should be posted about minding other's equipment. Snowboards and skis are not cheap. This is the 3rd time I've used my new board and got my first 3 chips in it simply from others being careless.
Tried ski for the first time. Place was super busy and booked session in advance.
They have dedicated staff working very hard and also great trainers.
We really enjoyed our first Ski experience. Perfect for beginners and they have separate area for pro.
Their restaurant not have much option
Friendly staffs and cool ski resort. The check in and equipment rental are quick and easy. The cafeteria is closed during covid pandemic, but there are plenty of space to chill and enjoy your own foods. The only ski resort that opens on Tues and Wed in the area. Note: online tickets are much cheaper.
Great mountain, great trails . Everything you need in one spot . Ample amount of parking, suggest arrive early, or you'll be doing some walking . Lines move quick , snow tubing , and night ski. Lessons for beginner or the little ones . Rentals available .
Mountain was very nice. Trails were well maintained and the rental process was easy. However, if your traveling with a family (younger kids <16 years old) beware. There were a lot of older teens and adults who ski extremely fast on the beginner trails. They seemed to do this with no regard for anyone s safety. Also, the lift lines were unregulated on the double chairs. This led to people just cutting in and forcing their way ahead of people regardless of who was there first. It seemed as if they re ski patrol or staff was turning a blind eye to it. After skiing numerous Pocono area ski resorts, it was a easy decision for us to not want to come back here.
We had an awesome experience! The safety talk prior to tubing was informative and entertaining. Staff was present to lend a hand stepping on and off the magic carpet throughout the session. They were very polite and safety conscious. The staff at the top of the mountain WORK HARD pushing the tubes down the mountain. Special acknowledgement to Chris who went above and beyond to give the most enthusiastic pushes to every rider. It was a warm day and the snow was slushy, but we still had a great time.
My friends and I have been mountain hopping this winter and we easily had the best time here. Although slightly smaller than surrounding mountains, they're lift lines are significantly shorter which literally allowed us to get in twice as many runs. The staff here is next level filled with politeness and manners. Also love the 2 terrain parks they have.
For $80 and free parking, this easily the best mountain by me. I'm considering getting a season pass here next winter.
Nice place. Decent slopes for the size of the place. The 4 stars is based mostly on that. You have to know when you go here that you are not visiting a mountain with a lot of vertical lift. The terrain is more flat. Green trails have a good width to them. I would like to see all the main lifts running but I imagine there was limited staff and covid restrictions when my group was there.
