Greetings from Camelback Mountain Resort!

Skiing and Riding at Camelback Mountain Resort is fantastic! Our snowmaking crews have been working round the clock since Monday conditioning trails and pumping snow all over the mountain. Camelback will be 100% open for the weekend with both of our halfpipes regroomed and all of our parks reshaped. We have added some bumps on a couple of trails, so come out and enjoy winter with us at Camelback!

March is right around the corner and Camelback has a ton of snow! Our groomers have been hard at work every night tilling and pushing snow so that every morning we can all arrive and make turns on edge to edge packed powder! Early birds get the corduroy at Camelback, but no matter what time you arrive the skiing and riding will be wonderful.

We are carving turns on a 36 to 82 inch base. If you are looking for nice long groomers we have what you crave; try the Nile Mile over a mile in length, this top to bottom trail offers great pitches and spectacular views. For you intermediate skiers and riders, improve your skills on trails like King Tut, Big Pocono and Pocono Raceway. For the experts out there, the Front Four of Marjie’s Delight, The Rocket (Bump Run), The Asp and The Hump are sure to please; don’t forget about our double diamond delight on the east side of the mountain, Cliffhanger (just dusted with snow Monday and Tuesday)!

Snowboarders and Twin Tippers we have what you are looking for! We have a progressive park that includes rails, boxes, hits and a pipe that are scaled down to help you learn and improve your skills, so that you can move on to our bigger parks and pipe. Yes, I said parks; we have 2 more terrain parks with an extensive array of rails, boxes, hits, as well as a wall ride. Don’t forget about our 14 foot high Zaugg groomed halfpipe and quarter pipe on Oak Gove.
