I grew up riding at blue knob. My dad put me into the ski school at the age of 7 and my instructor was so kind and patient. Being on the east coast, everything is very weather dependent, but when it snows blue knob is a dream. With 34 European alpine cut style trails theres a lot for all riders of every level, but do not be mistaken, the black and double black diamond runs heavily surpass black runs anywhere else in Pennsylvania. The bar and the clubhouse are super affordable for apres and food options and overall a wonderful place to hang out with family & friends. SKI GOOD OR EAT WOOD!

I took my family for a little weekend getaway to try something different. Each and everyone of us had a blast. The workers were so helpful in showing us the ropes for the first time. I would recommend blue knob 1000% whether its a family trip or just a getaway for the adults for a weekend.
