We went in the fall for the fall chair lift ride. It was a ton of fun. The leaves were really pretty. We had no wait because it was 45 degrees, and apparently no one wanted to do it because of the temperature. We did though, and I loved it.
Small feeling resort but very nice staff and great skiing experience!!! The chairlifts are outdated but it's so cool how they overlap each other and how the trails intermingle. Once we got to Stembogen bowl, having slightly dated amenities didn't matter because other nearby resorts don't have a bowl like this! We loved skiing this resort.
Really disappointed what it has turned into. We had a foot of snow and two weeks that didn't get above 20° and they can't have the whole mountain open. They either need to close or sell it. It's really a shame I've been skiing here for 25 years and they don't have stembogan or runout open after these recent optimal conditions. They can say what they want 10 15 years ago everything would be open right now with less natural snow.
Great place! It was my first time skiing and I loved the experience. The staff is amazing and takes care about you. They offer classes, for kids and adults which is a plus. Special thanks to my instructor Grumpy Old Bear, that was so nice and patient! And very very cool!
Great place to visit to hit the slopes during the winter or during the summer to take in the view. Blue Knib is the second highest point in the state and is contained within Blue Knob State Park. There is a ton of hiking opportunities, as well as a camping area. Before becoming a ski area this was owned by the Air Force and housed a base where the lodge is.
Overall great slopes, great people, hot chocolate is amazing. The food is really good. Just side note: The ramps were way too steep to safely come off of as a snowboarder and it was just ice. I told the workers multiple times but they didn’t put snow over it and left it to be very dangerous on a life for bunny hill.
Gotta give this place HUGE props for having some Of the best kept/cut/steep slopes in the east! With the short 1 hr 30 min drive from Pittsburgh. Insanely fun runs and lots of powdery conditions. Incredible deal too $85 for lodging and lift ticket!
Just a weekend jaunt. We don't ski, but the area looked nice. Snack Bar and Restaurant were good, people are friendly, many of the condos are set up as AirBnB places.
