As you will soon discover when you carry out a search for ski resorts in PA, USA there are many different ones to select from. However, what you will quickly notice that they are to be found in three different geographical areas of the State of Pennsylvania.

A large number of these ski resorts are to be found in the Pocono Mountains which are situated in the Eastern part of the State of Pennsylvania. Whilst other resorts are to be found in the Western part of this State known as Alleghenies and more resorts are to be found in the Southern part of the State of Pennsylvania close to the towns of Harrisburg and Gettysburg.

The big advantage that the resorts in the Pocono Mountains have over the others is that they are located close to many of the major cities including Philadelphia and New York City. However for those who are thinking of those to the west then these are close to the cities of Pittsburgh, Ohio and West Virginia. However, if you intend to be fly into Baltimore or West Virginia then selecting a resort to the South is ideal for you.

Below we are now going to take a look at some of the resorts that are proving popular not only with US citizens but with others who enjoy skiing from around the world.

Bear Creek Mountain Resort - This is situated in the south eastern part of the State of Pennsylvania and getting to it from New York City (95 miles away) and Philadelphia (65 miles) away is relatively easy. The resort offers a number of different ski slopes to suit a wide range of skiing abilities but the longest and most challenging of them all measures a total of 1.5 miles. Yet you don't need to just spend time skiing at this resort if you want you could give snowboarding or snow tubing a try as well.

Camelback Ski Area - Located in the north eastern part of Pennsylvania in the very heart of the Pocono Mountains. Again as with Bear Creek this resort offers not just the facilities for skiing, but also for snowboarding and snow tubing as well. It is much closer to New York City which is just 80 miles away, but slightly further away from Philadelphia which is 90 miles away.

Shawnee Mountain Ski Area - Another one of the many ski resorts located in the Pocono Mountains and it is again some distance to travel from New York City and Philadelphia as is Camelback. But actually accessing the resort is relatively easily as it is situated close to I-80 (Interstate Highway 80). But as with all the resorts we mention in this article it offers slopes to suit any skier whether a complete novice or professional.

Other ski resorts in PA that are worth considering along with those that we have mentioned above when planning your next winter vacation are Tanglwood Resort, Ski Sawmill Family Resort and Seven Springs Mountain Resort.
