Without question, the best skiing near NYC, Baltimore/WashDC and Philadelphia are the Poconos Mountains and surrounding areas.

Many people are already booking up the ski packages for the holiday weekends (Valentines's DayPresident's Day and so on), so don't wait too long if you think you'd like to come play in the snow then - otherwise, you'll hear "Sold Out".

All the ski areas are listed here, even the smallest ones, so there's plenty to browse and look at. You're welcome to add comments to any of the pages, so if you have some tips or insight into a particular resort - sharing would be nice.

Other pages of interest are the snowboarding page, cross country skiing and the snow tubing page. Some of the resorts (not ski resorts) have snow tubing on thier property and is included in the packages they offer. By the way, tubing is not just for kids. Also, you might want to look at the cross country skiing pages as well - great conditionin, and the snowmobiling pages.

Bookmark this page for future reference - the season runs until March.
