Montage Mountain Resort
Overview
Montage Mountain overlooks Scranton, Pennsylvania, with 1,000 feet of vertical drop and 140 acres of skiable terrain. Its layout gives beginners room to learn on the upper mountain, while experienced skiers and snowboarders can head to the steeper Northface trails below. The mountain offers extensive night skiing, with lighting across its ski terrain.
White Lightning anchors the Northface, a collection of black- and double-black-diamond trails that also includes Boomer and Smoke. Montage promotes White Lightning as the second-steepest trail in the East. Easier routes such as Mainline, High Ball, and Easy Street provide longer runs for developing skiers, and the resort offers group and private lessons.
For winter 2026–2027, Montage has expanded its freestyle offerings with two terrain parks: the established park on Whistler and The Yard, built on the former snow tubing slope. The resort has announced that snow tubing will not operate during the 2026–2027 season. Dining options include Slocum Hollow, Midland, and the cafeteria, and the ski area is just a few minutes from Interstate 81.
