Blue, Camelback announce trail updates
Camelback Resort is expanding its mountain with three new trails and introduces a new mountainside dining experience, while Blue Mountain Resort enhances its nighttime skiing with 315 new LED lights and continues to invest in snowmaking.
Blue Mountain Resort’s new LED trail lights will make the mountain 100% LED lit.
New lighting is being added to Vista, Easy Out, School Hill, Come Around, Lazy Mile, Tut’s Lane, Sidewinder and Valley School East/West as part of the resort’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and focusing on energy-efficient lighting.
The resort is also installing new underground pipe on School Hill and Vista to expand snowmaking capabilities and is upgrading Creekside pump house with automated pump control technology.
The latest improvements build on Blue Mountain’s ongoing investment in snowmaking technology, following previous upgrades designed to increase snow production, improve efficiency and support terrain availability.
For the first time in 30 years, Camelback Resort is adding new trails to its mountain, expanding its ski experience to 45 trails for the 2026-27 season. The three new trails give skiers and snowboarders more terrain to explore across a range of ability levels and make Camelback home to the most trails of any ski resort in the Poconos.
The new trails include a double-black-diamond trail at the top of the Stevenson Lift that connects to Pharaoh’s; a blue-square trail branching off the skiers’ left of Upper Cleopatra and connecting to Big Pocono; and a black-diamond trail beneath Black Bear 6 that provides a new route from Basilisk to John Bailey.
Camelback is also introducing Alpine Outpost, a new food-and-beverage destination along the Coolmoor teaching trail, where the majority of the resort’s ski and snowboard lessons take place.
All of Camelback’s lifts have also been repainted in evergreen as part of a broader effort to refresh the mountain while maintaining the character of the Pocono landscape.
