Blue Mtn. plans Nov. 29 ski season opening

Blue Mountain Resort, recently recognized as one of the Top 30 Ski Resorts in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, is targeting Nov. 29 — the day after Thanksgiving — for the opening of its 47th annual ski season, weather permitting.

Blue Mountain boasts Pennsylvania’s highest vertical at 1,082 feet with 40 ski trails, 14 lifts and 171 skiable acres catering to all skill levels.

With even more trails set to open this year, guests can look forward to an expanded winter wonderland at Blue Mountain.

Highlights of the upcoming 2024-2025 snow season at Blue Mountain Resort include:

• Blue Mountain Resort and Camelback Resort in Tannersville, offer unlimited skiing and lift access at both resorts through their Peak-to-Peak Poconos Pass program.

• Building on last year’s multimillion-dollar investment in snow-making technology, Blue Mountain Resort has made another significant upgrade for the 2024-2025 season. This latest enhancement includes 132 new stick guns and six fan guns installed across the mountain, which will result in a 17.5% increase of opening day snow production compared to last year.

The investment also features a complete overhaul of the resort’s automation software, improving snow-making efficiency and timing control to ensure the best possible conditions. Expanded trails for this season include Come Around, Lower Lazy, Falls and Lower Sidewinder. Additionally, a new 2024 Prinoth Bison X Cat snow groomer will be in place by late fall.

• Blue Mountain Resort will unveil new dining options for the 2024-2025 winter season. The new Waffle Hut, replacing Waffle Cabin, will satisfy sweet cravings with traditional waffles topped with chocolate drizzle, as well as indulgent creations like waffles with ice cream or hot apple filling. For those seeking heartier fare, Beers & Buns on Burman will replace Beers & Brats on Burma, serving up smashburgers, bratwurst, and beverages.

The resort’s Sip & Slide offers a full-service bar located in the Adventure Center, while First Chair Coffee will replace Rise & Grind. Lastly, the Cluck Truck, replacing Street Sweets, will serve up chicken tenders and sandwiches, perfect for a quick and satisfying bite between runs.

• With the newly installed snow-making equipment, Blue Mountain will be able to open snow tubing early in the season with up to 56 lanes — each over 1,000 feet long. The fully lit lanes will feature nighttime tubing, including Sonic Tubing after dark with music and disco lighting. Guests can enjoy the convenience of three lifts, and both single and double tubes are available for an exhilarating experience and friendly competition.

• The Learning Center offers groups of skiers and snowboarders the opportunity to learn “how to.” Beginner lessons are geared to snowbirds 3 and older and accompanied by a person 13 or older. A beginner ticket and equipment rental are included with the lesson, so participants can practice on valley carpets and use the Valley Triple and Vista chairlifts. Private lessons are available for all ages and skill levels.
