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.
