With 8 ski areas and more than 150 slopes and trails, the Poconos invite you to dash down the double-black diamond slopes, jump ‘n’ bump through challenging terrain parks, or bring the whole giggling gang along in a family-sized tube.
Since the first commercial ski area was established here in 1946, the Poconos has become a popular destination for all ages and skill levels. As a Pocono parent, I have fond memories of picking up my children following their after-school ski club, as they breathlessly told me about the afternoon’s adventures on the slopes.
Once the season’s snowfall is far enough along — like right now — you can expand your horizons, zipping along on snowmobiles — or if you’re into quieter pursuits, combining an outing of cross-country skiing with a bit of bald-eagle watching along the way. For the romantic at heart, there’s nothing like cuddling up in a horse-drawn sleigh. And for the hardiest of spirit, there’s always the intrepid pursuit of ice fishing. This year’s cold snap gave these brave souls an early start.
If your favorite outdoor sport is bagging bargains, you’ll find more opportunities than ever in today’s Poconos – from the 100-store Crossings Outlet Mall to a wide range of bargain spots, quaint in-town shops and galleries. For exhilarating indoor entertainment, the area offers two indoor water parks for the younger set, along with grown-up fun featuring new table games at Mt. Airy Casino.
Whatever your idea of winter fun, there’s plenty to love here in the Poconos – and the smartest way to enjoy it all is by taking advantage of today’s spectacular prices on Pocono vacation homes. What better way to finish your fun-filled day than joining friends and family by your very own cozy fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate as you watch the next day’s powder gently falling outside?
