Camelback Resort celebrates 60 years of skiing

Camelback Resort, located near Tannersville in Monroe County, is celebrating its 60th anniversary of skiing this season.

Camelback offers 39 trails spanning 166 acres, along with snow tubing and terrain parks.

The resort debuted its ski programs in 1963 and has made significant upgrades over the years. In celebration, Camelback will debut a 60 x 8-foot mural created by Pennsylvania artist Evan Hughes in the Thirsty Camel lounge.

The resort’s current focus is sustainability as evidenced by new, cutting-edge snow depth technology that allows staff to easily determine if and where they need to make snow, in turn reducing the amount of water and hours of snow-making. Camelback has also installed low-energy snow-making equipment to reduce its energy usage by 25% and has incorporated a snow-making system that returns melted snow to its source, Pocono Creek. Additionally, over the last five years, Camelback has upgraded all its grooming machines to Tier 4 emission engines, further limiting its carbon footprint. Ski and snowboard instruction is back at Camelback Resort at its Ski & Ride Academy for learners starting at age 4 and levels from beginner to advanced.

Last year, the resort debuted Black Bear 6 - a new high-speed six-person, enclosed lift - replacing the smaller Sullivan Express. The new lift soars 667 vertical feet with an uphill capacity of 3,000 passengers per hour, an increase of 600 passengers per hour over the previous lift.

The terrain park is located at Upper Moore’s Ramble, Oak Grove, Lower Moore’s Ramble and Rhododendron Glen and is serviced by the Glen lift.

Camelback offers more than 40 snow tubing lanes, day and night.
