Camelback Also Recognized with Nomination for Best Ski School
POCONO MOUNTAINS, Penn. – Winter adventure is once again earning national recognition in the Pocono Mountains, with Blue Mountain Resort in Palmerton and Camelback Resort in Tannersville nominated for the USA Today 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Place for Snow Tubing. Camelback has also been nominated for Best Ski School, highlighting the resort’s longstanding reputation for teaching generations of skiers and riders.
The annual USA Today 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards invite readers to weigh in on top destinations and experiences across the country, with nominees selected by a panel of industry experts.
Blue Mountain Resort is home to one of the country’s largest snow tubing parks, with up to 56 lanes for solo or double racing. Its popular Sonic Snow Tubing experience transforms the mountain after dark with a high-energy laser and light show, adding music, lights and an extra dose of excitement to the tubing experience. The resort also offers seasonal nighttime snow tubing events throughout the holidays, as well as special sessions for New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, giving guests additional opportunities to experience the tubing park after dark.
Camelback Resort’s snow tubing park is a longtime favorite for winter enthusiasts, featuring more than 40 illuminated lanes and Magic Carpet lifts. The after-dark experience adds colorful lighting to the mountain for an exhilarating winter activity that can be enjoyed by families and groups.
In addition to its snow tubing recognition, Camelback is nominated for Best Ski School, a fitting distinction for a resort with a six-decade legacy of inspiring generations of skiers and riders. At the resort’s Ski & Ride Academy, adults can participate in 90-minute group or private lessons or sign up for four-week Adult Clinics offered in January and February, while children ages 4 to 15 can enroll in multi-week programs designed to build skills through consistent coaching and peer groups. The range of instruction provides opportunities for skiers and riders to develop their abilities while enjoying the mountain alongside family and friends.
Voting runs from Monday, October 12, through Monday, November 9, with readers eligible to cast one vote per day. Winners will be announced Wednesday, November 18, following the close of voting.
