Not So Urban Athletics: Snowboarding or Skiing at Blue Mountain

It's the season for winter sports, let's head to the Poconos and spend the day snowboarding or skiing at Blue Mountain.

The plan...

We'll meet in the outdoor courtyard seating area of the Summit Lodge at 9:30 AM. After a quick meet and greet, those that need rental equipment will get their equipment and we'll head up the mountain for a few hours of fun.

At midday, we'll all meet at the lodge for lunch to laugh about how our mornings went and to nurse our bruises. After lunch we'll spend a few more easy hours exploring the mountain before we call it a day.

The important stuff...

The lift ticket prices are dynamic, meaning they change based on date and demand. Take a look at the current cost and purchase your lift pass online at this link below:
