Not sure if this thread has been posted before but o well.

My mom bought a timeshare in Shawnee village back like 20 yrs ago.  She doesn't ski and never did but liked the Shawnee area.  So for an entire week of every fucking year im stuck in PA.  I only ski at Shawnee at night when my parents cant give me a ride to another mtn.   I usually go to camelback but its getting old,  well it did like 5 yrs ago.    Are there any better ski area in the Poconos then camelback?

OO no i was saying how it got old five years ago.  Ive been there every year for the past 12 years.  Your right it has gotten way better in five years.  They focus on park heavily now.

So pretty much camelback is the best all around skin area in PA?    Bear with me on this spelling but   how is Montosh?

blue has added a new terrain park which is pretty sick. Jack Frost Big Boulder is also worth a visit cause BB has sick terrain parks while JF is better for trails and what not. And they are only a ten minute drive between each other. I would also suggest Mountain Creek. Although in Vernon, NJ its got 5 peaks which is amazing and over 50 trails. Def worth a lil bit farther of a drive
