Resort Overview - reported by M. Scott Smith, DCSki Editor

Spring Mountain is a small ski hill, offering 8 trails with a vertical of 420 feet, but it’s a ski hill that’s only 28 miles from Philadelphia. That makes the ski area popular with Philly natives who don’t want to drive all the way to the Poconos.

Spring Mountain also offers a snow tubing area with two tubing runs.

Summer Activities

In the off-season, Spring Mountain offers activities such as canopy tours, geocaching, and rock climbing.
