Snow skiing is one of the major attractions in the Poconos.
The Pocono Mountains have been drawing visitors to their forests, lakes and world-class resorts for generations. The attractions offer year-round entertainment, relaxation and outdoor adventures for visitors of every age. Golf, tennis, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing and water skiing are just a few activities the mountains have to offer. In winter, snow is the main event, with snow-skiing packages being one of the most popular winter getaways. From family vacations to romantic honeymoons, resorts in the Poconos are among the most favored destinations in the United States.
