BEST Ski Resort in the Poconos- in my humble opinion?
Blue Mountain is our favorite attraction near our house. So many great memories of my family were made there.
It is a truly year round resort. Best know for their amazing ski slopes in the winter.
But Blue Mountain has a lot more to offer. Check out Downhill Mountain Biking, High Ropes Course, The Blue Burn Trail, Scenic Lift Rides, Laser tag, and even Summer Camp... Your kids can enjoy the summer camp while you have a great time relaxing or exploring the area
