Blue Mountain is one of the Pocono's premiere skiing and snowboarding destinations. Ski or ride Pennsylvania's highest vertical with 39 trails for all skill levels. Two new trails added for the 2011-12 ski season; Razorback and Little Gap. Blue Mountain will host the US Olympic Luge Team practices and has the only east coast Natural Luge Run open to the public. Blue also features the region's only BigAirBag, a huge air-filled pad that cushions landings for difficult aerial maneuvers. Once you master your moves check out the 5 terrain parks designed for various abilities from beginner to expert.
Blue’s 10 lifts, including a high-speed detachable quad and the region's only high-speed detachable six-passenger lift, allow customers to spend more time on the slopes and less in the lift lines. Blue Mountain has 100 percent snowmaking and 100 percent lighting for night skiing.
