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.
