"Camelback saw a 126% increase in visitations during Christmas week 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, making it the fastest-growing ski resort in the country for that holiday stretch, according to data released by Slopes. This surge aligns with broader trends in the Northeast, where resorts experienced gains while Western U.S. destinations faced declines due to a lack of snow and poor conditions."
"The resort welcomed over 63,000 skiers in December 2025 alone, more than double the visitation from the same month the previous year. Jason Bays, Vice President and General Manager at Camelback Mountain Resort, described this as the 'best season in over almost over a decade in terms of skier visits.' He attributed the uptick to a combination of factors, including heavy investments in snowmaking."
"Traditionally, we have way more users in the United States in the West, primarily Utah and Colorado, but that's historically. This season, we did see that the East practically doubled in skier visitations, according to Ela Novac, Partner for Product and Growth at Slopes."
Camelback Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania's Poconos Mountains experienced exceptional growth during the 2025-26 ski season, with a 126% increase in visitations during Christmas week 2025 compared to 2024. The resort welcomed over 63,000 skiers in December 2025 alone, more than double the previous year's visitation, marking the best season in nearly a decade. This surge reflects broader regional trends, as Northeast resorts gained visitors while Western destinations declined due to poor snow conditions. Strategic investments in snowmaking enabled Camelback to open first in Pennsylvania, contributing significantly to its success. Data from the Slopes app confirms Eastern ski resorts practically doubled their visitations this season, reversing traditional patterns where Western resorts dominated.
