Spring Ski Events Announced at Blue Mountain, Camelback

SKI INTO SPRING: BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT AND CAMELBACK RESORT ANNOUNCE LATE-SEASON EVENTS AND EXTENDED SKIING

From Cardboard Box Derbies to Pond Skims, Spring Fun Takes Over the Slopes

TANNERSVILLE and PALMERTON, Pa. – With deep snowpack and one of the strongest winters in recent memory across the Pocono Mountains, Blue Mountain Resort and Camelback Resort are keeping the lifts spinning well into spring with festive on-snow events and prime late-season skiing and riding conditions. Both mountains continue to enjoy excellent coverage thanks to sustained snowfall and snowmaking, with skiing expected to continue through Easter and into April. Camelback hopes to extend the season into early May, weather and conditions permitting.

To celebrate the extended season, the resorts are hosting family-friendly events that embrace the playful spirit of spring skiing. Blue Mountain will host its Cardboard Box Derby and Easter Egg Hunt on the Snow, while Camelback brings back its crowd-favorite Pond Skim, where skiers and riders attempt to glide across an icy pond in colorful costumes.

In addition, 2026–27 Season Passes for both properties are now on sale and valid immediately, allowing guests to ski and ride for the remainder of the current spring season before rolling seamlessly into next winter. Pass benefits include discounts on food and beverages, savings on lessons and access to select year-round attractions, depending on the resort.

Prizes will be awarded in several categories, including Best Kona Big Wave–Themed Box, Fastest Racer, Most Creative Design and Biggest Fail of the Day.

Each box may carry up to four riders. Participants must be age 10 or older and wear helmets. To register, visit online.

‘90s Retro-Themed Pond Skim at Camelback

Spring skiing wouldn’t be complete without the legendary Pond Skim at Camelback Resort, where skiers and snowboarders attempt to glide across a chilly pond at the base of the mountain. This year’s event celebrates ’90s retro style, encouraging participants to don bright neon, wild prints and throwback gear as they launch down the slope and attempt to skim across the water. Whether they make it across or wipe out in spectacular fashion, the event promises plenty of laughs and high-energy fun. Festivities continue with music, food and drinks on the deck as spectators cheer on the skimmers. Prizes will be awarded for Best Skim, Best Costume and Best Splash.

Participants must have a lift ticket and be at least 18 years old to compete.
