When you are searching online for various different ski resorts in PA where you can vacation on your next winter holiday there are plenty to select from. They are all situated within three specific geographical areas of the state of Pennsylvania and so are all easily accessible.

A large number of these ski resorts are to be found in the Pocono Mountains which are situated in the Eastern part of the State of Pennsylvania. Whilst other resorts are to be found in the Western part of this State known as Alleghenies and more resorts are to be found in the Southern part of the State of Pennsylvania close to the towns of Harrisburg and Gettysburg.

The resorts situated in the Pocono Mountains are within easy reach of major cities such as New York City and Philadelphia. Whilst those in the Alleghenies region are located within easy reach of cities such as Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Ohio. Whereas the resorts which are located to the south can easily be reached from both Washington DC and Baltimore.

Bear Creek Mountain - This resort is situated a short distance from Philadelphia (65 miles) and New York City (95 miles) in the south eastern part of the State of Pennsylvania. There are many different ski runs available to suit all abilities and the longest of them all reaches a distance of 1.5 miles. But not only is this resort famed for its skiing it is a great place to do snowboarding and snow tubing as well.

Camelback Ski Resort - Situated in the north eastern part of Pennsylvania State right in the heart of the Pocono Mountains.

From New York City the resort is 80 miles away and from Philadelphia it is 90 miles.
