Best Weather : Winters
Type of Trip : Day Trip
My Rating - Excellent
Poconos is in Pennsylvania and within driving distance from NJ/NY/PA.Blue mountain gave us a day filled of snow adventure - skiing, snow tubing.
We didn't do any snow boarding.Since it was our first time for snow sports , we were tired after skiing itself . Tired of falling & getting up and the heavy shoes .. believe me they are pretty heavy .
We took the package for First-Timers , inclusive of classes , beginner lift and the rental shoes & ski sledges.Rate is around 43 bugs per person.(I would say pretty cheap ..ha )My opinion - not more than a day trip but if you want to stay a night or so , i think there is lodging available there itself.
And parking is a problem on long weekend - keep extra time for finding parking.
Also if you reach before 10 AM , you will beat the rush .
One thing to keep in mind is that as soon as you reach go directly to the cabin in the beginners area , ask them when the next batch is starting else you might miss the classes and will have to wait for another hours.And believe me for first timers its good to take those classes .
