Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

The Tanglwood Ski Area and Winter Park in Pennsylvania may be the best dollar for dollar value in the state, especially for families. Lift tickets for use 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays cost  $10 during non-holiday weeks. That's $2.50 per hour to ski or snowboard.  Another option is 20 percent off the regular day ticket price of $38 for adults and $30 for children 6 - 14 and seniors 65 - 69 Thursdays. Rentals cost $10.

The "value" offer on Fridays is buy one lift ticket and get one free;  on Saturday five tickets to ski, snowboard, or tube cost $55. Season passes are on sale for $215 through Nov. 30 for a $55 savings.

Tanglwood is open Thursdays to Sundays except for holiday weeks. Thursday to Saturday hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The mountain is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. During holiday weeks the mountain is open Monday to Wednesday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Nine trails spill over Tanglwood's terrain that claims a vertical of 415 feet. The lodge sits on top of the inverted mountain that packs a terrain park - but no halfpipe -  a tubing area, two double chairs, and two rope tows -one services the tubing park - into its 35 acres. There is a Ski Wee program for teaching children, and  several cross-country ski trails are available. The ski shop rents alpine and cross country equipment. The area hopes to open Dec. 19.
