Join us on the first of this season's Penn Outdoors ski series. For our first trip, we take you to Blue Mountain, one of the premier resorts in the Poconos. Blue Mountain offers rentals, lessons, and a variety of slopes to accommodate groups of all skill levels. The $64 cost is for the lift ticket and transportation only -- see below for other additional options:

IMPORTANT: the cost displayed in the trip profile cost is for the lift ticket only. PLEASE LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE IF YOU INTEND TO RENT GEAR OR TAKE LESSONS. You will benefit from the group rates for these additional items. This is so we can inform the folks at Blue Mountain and they can be prepared. You can put this in the "equipment needed" section of the form.

Here are the total costs (including our lift ticket price) for the various add-ons you can choose:


Member Price         Non-member
Lift only             
$64 70
Lift/board          
$92 98
Lift/ski               
$84 90
Lift/ski/lesson    
$99 105
Lift/board/lesson
$107 113
*Beginner ski    
$69 75
*Beginner board
$74
80

*Beginner packages include rental, lesson, and a limited-area lift ticket. This will limit you to the bunny slopes. You cannot upgrade this lift ticket at the mountain, so be aware of this! We are not sure how strict they are with checking lift tickets.

For now, when you register online for the trip, pay the lift ticket only prices -- $64 ($70 for non-members), and on the day of the trip, you will be able to pay the balance for the package you want. Unfortunately, our Paypal registration is not programmed to let you pay customized amounts, so an in-person payment will have to work.

However, we do need to know in advance, so in the "equipment needed" section, please let us know which package you will select.
