Come ride powder-white Camelback

As a Utah resident, it may be blasphemous to offer suggestions on excellent skiing that are outside of the state that boasts on its license plates " Greatest snow on Earth." Alas, I am risking utter banishment from the state and suggesting that all you winter sports enthusiasts itching to grab your snowboards and hit the slopes head eastward to the Camelback Ski Resort. Nestled in the heart of scenic Mount Pocono, the Camelback Ski Resort is the largest ski and snowboard resort in northeastern Pennsylvania And with the season starting in a week, it is the perfect Thanksgiving vacation spot and it is a sure-fire way to satisfy your craving for the slopes.

Considered among the best ski resorts in the United States, the Camelback Ski Resort features 800 feet of vertical terrain with 33 trails and 13 lifts. In addition to skiing and a variety of customized ski classes, the Camelback offers snowboarding and a huge snow-tubing park that includes seven runs, three tows, and numerous family activities. In fact, the ever-popular Camelback Ski Resort was voted " Poconos Best Ski Resort" in 2003 for overall size, quality, and presentation of the facility. " The best thing [about the Camelback Ski Resort] is that it is super big for this area, yet they get great coverage (with over 50 inches of annual snowfall)," says a reviewer on PoconoRecord.com. " They have super fast quads, and ever year Camelback seems to get better and better. It has everything you need for an awesome day."

Before arriving hitting the righteous slopes of the Camelback Ski Resort, you will want to book a reservation at the always-fabulous Fernwood hotel and resort. This 440-acre resort, flanked by a stunning backdrop of colorful rolling hills, includes a breathtaking view of Mount Poconos and is just minutes away from the Camelback. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to stay at the Fernwood hotel, because the very day the Camelback Ski Resort opens so does the premiere of King Henry’s My Favorite Christmas musical theatre show at the Fernwood. So, after a long leisurely day on the slopes at Camelback, you will come home to an evening of superb dinner entertainment.

With the holidays comes plenty of opportunities to spend real quality time with friends and loved ones, and, in between skiing, you should check out the slew of activities and amenities at the Fernwood hotel. The Fernwood, rated by Orbitz.com as a five-star hotel, provides a variety of quality activities and amenities among of which include themed restaurants and live entertainment, a large videogame room, a fitness center, horseback riding trips, shopping excursions, children’s crafts, indoor pools, paintball, and ice skating—just to name a few. So, if in the event you should decide to take a break from skiing, you and your family will have plenty to do. According to Orbitz.com, " However you define a vacation—Fernwood resort has something for everyone."

With Thanksgiving only a week away, hurry and back your bags and head to the Camelback Ski Resort. If you want an unforgettable skiing experience, the Poconos Mountains is the place. So, come ride the powder-white Camelback—it’s beckoning all of you winter sports enthusiasts. Grab your gear and heed the call.
