"Camelback Mountain Resort is located in the Pocono Mountains and is one of the biggest resorts in Pennsylvania. It is a great day trip from NYC, which is approximately 1 1/2 hours away, and also only 2 hours away from Philadelphia. Its proximity to these two major cities makes it a great ski destination as the only ski-in-ski-out mountain in the Poconos."
"The weather conditions on the mountain were great in the morning with clear, sunny skies, no wind, and temperatures in the upper 30s. It did rain in the region over the weekend, but there were no signs of the precipitation on Tuesday: there were no bare spots, and the slopes were perfectly groomed. The mountain was in great shape and had a base depth of 16 to 36 inches, with seven lifts running, and all of its 39 trails open."
"Camelback's north-facing slopes make it ideal for not losing a lot of its snowpack due to inclement weather, and the sun didn't start shining down on the slopes until around 11:00 a.m. This may be great for mitigating snowmelt, but it sometimes does factor in with icy conditions. The resort is located in the mid-Atlantic region, where temperatures go above and below freezing almost daily throughout the winter."
Camelback Mountain Resort is located in the Pocono Mountains and ranks among the largest resorts in Pennsylvania. The resort is approximately 1.5 hours from New York City and two hours from Philadelphia, offering convenient ski-in/ski-out access. Morning conditions included clear, sunny skies, no wind, and temperatures in the upper 30s. Recent regional rain left no visible effects on the slopes, which were perfectly groomed with base depths of 16 to 36 inches. Seven lifts operated and all 39 trails were open. North-facing slopes and below-freezing temperatures most of the season helped preserve snowpack, while daily freeze-thaw cycles can produce icy conditions. Groomers produced corduroy surface ideal for carving, with runs remaining fast and smooth.
