Availability:
The sport that brings most people to
the Poconos is skiing (or snowboarding). For those
who do not ski, but enjoy outdoor snow activities,
we now have thousands of people who snow tube each
year. Camelback Mountain is the area's largest, with
Shawnee and Jack Frost tied for a close second. Blue
Mountain has the highest vertical and the longest
run, but not as manyn slopes as some of the others
and is harder to get to than all of the others. Accommodations
are scarce slopeside and most visitors stay in a nearby
hotel or inn. Below is an insider's guide.
