Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain is a relatively small ski area located in Pennsylvania, right by the Delaware River and just across the border from New York state. Ski Big Bear caters to families and is a great resort for first-time skiers and boarders. Lift tickets are relatively inexpensive at Big Bear. There are also four cross-country ski trails located in the Masthope Mountain Community near Big Bear. On average, Ski Big Bear gets about 50 inches of natural snow per year, supplementing that with snowmaking.
Ski Big Bear has a terrain park for snowboarders and also has a snow tubing area.
