About the Area
The Big Boulder Ski Area in Pennsylvania is located within the Pocono Mountains, specifically within the Pocono Plateau region. The ski resort itself is situated on Big Boulder Mountain, which is part of the larger Pocono Mountains range. The Pocono Mountains are known for their rolling hills, densely forested slopes, and stunning vistas, making them a popular destination for outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The Big Boulder Ski Area offers a variety of terrain for skiing and snowboarding, including beginner-friendly slopes and challenging runs for advanced skiers and riders.
It features 16 trails with a focus on intermediate and advanced skiers, including challenging terrain parks. However, beginners can also enjoy easy, wide-open slopes. An interesting fact about this resort is that it was one of the first ski areas in the country to install lights for night skiing. For beginners, I recommend the Easy Way trail, which offers a gentle slope and scenic views. After a long day on the slopes, head over to Shenanigans Pub for some great après-ski drinks and food.
