Pocono Winter Festivities At Masthope Mountain

We are known for many things here in the Beautiful Pocono Mountains, but Skiing, Snowboarding, Tubing, and winter time fun seems to be everyone's personal favorite when it comes to Pocono Living. The Pocono Ski Resorts host many different Winter Sports Fun Festivities all winter long! A very fun part of celebrating Ski Season in the Pocono Mountains is the Pocono Favorite Winter Carnival at Big Bear on Masthope Mountain in Pike County. All kinds of winter fun is to be had! Hit the snow for a fun day filled with ski races, big air competition, rail jams, an all day scavenger hunt and lunch tray races. Head to the rental shop for a free wax and sharpen; or visit the lodge for raffles, live entertainment, and more. The event will be held from 9am-4:30pm. The Rail Jams will begin at 1pm and there is a $5 entrance free. The Race Program will be held from 2-4pm. This event is still quite awhile away taking place on January 27th, 2013, but it is not too far away to start planning to attend this Winter Time Favorite in the Pocono Mountains!

Here in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania we have been preparing ourselves for our favorite time of year not only for us, but it is the favorite season for all of the Pocono Tourists who flock here. That would be Ski Season in the Poconos! Ski Season is alive and well here in the Poconos. Last night 1/15/13 we got another taste of snow dropping about 5 inches all over the Mountain. The slopes are ready for all of the winter sport enthusiasts here in the Poconos or just visiting our lovely mountain. This got the snow guns going at your favorite Pocono Ski Resorts such as Big Boulder Ski Resort, Jack Frost Mountain, Camelback Mountain & Resort, and Shawnee Mountain. The snow guns are really working on the ski trails for all the winter sport enthusiasts making their way into the area, and it seems like the snow is here to stay!
