| 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.

Comments on Spring Mountain - Bad Experience - posted by Meryl
March 6 at 2:25 am My friend and I went snow tubing. It was a mild evening, but was very icy and dangerous at the bottom of the run. People were getting hurt left and right, some going to the hospital. Also, after your run you had to go down some steps to walk around and get in line again. There was a significant drop from the last step to the ground, and it was not only sloped but icy and very dangerous. They offer a 4 hour evening session from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. My friend and I got there at 7 p.m., only did 3 runs and both got hurt. We went to speak with the owner and he was very unsympathetic and not helpful at all, making excuses all the while. We basically wasted our money. There's also a sign up when you come in to pay that says if they have 200 people during a session, you may only get one run an hour.
