General info: 

Blue Mountain is one of the Pocono's premiere skiing and snowboarding destinations. Ski or ride Pennsylvania's highest vertical with 37 trails for all abilities. For 2010: two new glades (Blue Baumer and Sleepy Hollow) and Pioneer Pass, the new children's learning trail. Blue has the region's only BigAirBag, a huge air-filled pad that cushions landings for aerial maneuvers.
Nightmare, a thrilling 900-foot-long double diamond slope of steeps and turns and Central Park, is Blue Mountain's fifth terrain park. Their Park Crew will be bringing the “street right to you” on the slopes, with the addition of two stair sets and other street related elements, all from Snow Grind.
Blue’s nine lifts, including a high-speed detachable quad and the region's only high-speed detachable six-passenger lift, lets customers spend more time on the slopes and less in the lift lines. Blue Mountain has 100 percent snowmaking and 100 percent lighting for evening skiing.
The Tubing Park has 21 runs and 3 lifts for sliding all day and night. Blue Mountain offers two full service lodges to meet skiing, riding, and dinning needs. Two outdoor courtyards feature a variety of food choices, including outdoor grilling, along with fire pits to stay warm while dining outdoors.
There are special rates available for groups of 15 or more. Blue Mountain is less than a tank of gas away from Philadelphia, Wilmington, and many parts of the New York and New Jersey region.
