Drivers don’t get excited about snow, but it is a welcome sight for ski resorts.

Simply put, skiers get pumped up when its snows, said Ashley Seier, director of marketing at Blue Mountain Resort in Palmerton.

“Although we make a large percentage of our snow, nothing gets people more excited than natural snowfall,” Seier said. “When Mother Nature brings snow to the local area and our Philadelphia markets, we see an uptick in ticket sales, website visits and social media.”

Attendance figures haven’t dropped off too much despite the lack of natural snow.

“Despite the unseasonal temperatures, this ski season has been well attended,” she said. “Pass-holders, especially, have been satisfied with Blue Mountain’s ability to make snow and open our terrain against the odds.

“As well, this weather is great for beginners who are just learning the sport because the snow is softer and more forgiving. Temperatures are more comfortable for a first-timer’s experience.”

Seier cited the resort’s ability to make snow.

“All our current snow is man-made, and as such, our visitors today are enjoying 32 open trails with a 24-to-36-inch base of snow,” she said. “Since Blue Mountain is home to one of the largest snow-making systems on the East Coast, we have had the most terrain open in the region for skiing and snowboarding since Nov. 21.”

Molly Coneybeer, director of marketing at Camelback Resort in Tannersville, agreed that people get excited to ski when it snows.

“Natural snow makes such a huge difference to both veteran skiers and potential visitors,” Coneybeer said. “For our seasoned skiers - especially on the East Coast - fresh ‘pow’ is everyone’s dream.

“There’s nothing better than being one of the first people on the mountain whenever we get fresh snow. A fresh snowfall can also have a huge impact on whether someone decides to plan a trip to Camelback. We like to think if people see snow in their own backyards, winter fun and activities stay top of mind.”

Despite the lack of snow, Coneybeer said the season “has been exceptional considering the warmer temperatures we’ve been up against. Our snow-making team has taken advantage of every opportunity to make snow on the mountain, which means great conditions for our guests.

“Camelback has consistently been at the top of the list for the most open terrain in Pennsylvania throughout the season. We’ve seen record numbers of visitors over our recent holiday weekends, and we owe it all to our incredible snow-making team.”

Coneybeer said Camelback has become extremely proficient at snow-making.

“Snow-making is a fine art that I’m proud to say our team has mastered,” she said. “Production varies depending on the temperature and humidity levels, but to put it into perspective, just one of our snow guns could fill up an entire living room with snow overnight ... and we have 700 of them on the mountain.”

Elsewhere, Jack Frost/Big Boulder in White Haven indicates on its website that 59% of its terrain is open.

Additionally, 22 of its 37 trails are open, as are seven of its 15 lifts.
