CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN

Solid East Coast mountain with great terrain variety. The snowmaking is top-notch and keeps conditions rideable even in warm spells. Lift lines can get brutal on weekends though, especially at the Stevenson Express. Night skiing is a huge plus.

Really impressed with how well-maintained this resort is. The lodge is clean, food options are decent, and the rental shop staff was super helpful. Trails are well-groomed every morning. A bit pricey for what you get vertically, but the overall experience makes up for it.

Decent for the Poconos but you pay NYC-area prices for a pretty small mountain. Good park features and the half pipe is fun. Gets really crowded on holiday weekends. If you go midweek its a completely different experience.

Perfect mountain for learning! The beginner area is separated from the main runs so you feel safe. Instructors were patient and encouraging. Moved from greens to blues by end of the day. Will definitely be coming back to progress more.

Good enough for a day trip from Philly or NYC. The expert terrain is limited but Cliffhanger and The Hump offer some real challenge. Snowmaking keeps things going when Mother Nature doesnt cooperate. Would rate higher if lift tickets werent so steep.
