The 2020/2021 season will look different this year. It is important that you know, understand, and accept these changes prior to your next visit.
What to Expect During Your Next Visit
Below are our current operational plans for the 2020/2021 ski season. In addition to these plans, please review the Pocono Promise located at the bottom of this page. If we work together, we will not be the reason we lose our season!
ALL Visitors Will be Required to Wear a Mask During Their Visit
Masks must be worn when entering any of our facilities, when in lift lines, while riding the lift and any other time you are within 6ft of another guest. There are NO exemptions that a guest may legally claim under the ADA that due to a medical condition or disability, they can be exempt from the ski industry's general face covering and mask mandates. Please review additional mask information and requirements from the Pennsylvania Department of Health prior to your visit.
Pennsylvania requires out of state travelers over 11 years of age to produce evidence of a negative COVID-19 test or place themselves in quarantine for 10 days without testing, or a 7-day quarantine with a negative test on or after day 5 of quarantine.
Although we are unable to verify if visitors have met the states requirements, we are urging our guests to do the right thing and not travel to the resort if you have not met the requirements.
Lift ticket sales HAVE BEEN LIMITED. As we add more terrain, we will continue to adjust the amount of tickets we sell.
Season pass sales have also been limited. Once we reach what we have deemed as our season pass capacity, we will be selling no more season passes for this season.
All tickets are date specific and MUST be purchased online at shopskibluemt.com. There will be no ticket windows available.
We are offering dynamic pricing on tickets this season. Discounted tickets will be available up to 48 hours before your visit.
Within 48 hours of your visit, you will still be able to purchase tickets a our day of price if quantities remain. Day of tickets will still need to be purchased online from your desktop or mobile device prior to picking up your ticket.
All tickets will be picked up using our redemption boxes located OUTSIDE of the of our lodges. Simply scan the barcode provided in your confirmation email to print your RFID ticket. Redemption works best if your phone brightness is turned all the way up, and your barcode is made as large as possible. You may also print the email.
If you have a ticket from last season, you can reload it online using your webcode and go directly to the slopes.
Season Pass Holders will not need to make a reservation to ski or ride. Your season pass is valid anytime.
There will no longer be a drop off area in front of the Summit or Valley Lodge.
At this time, there will be no shuttle service. You will need to drive your own vehicle between the Summit and Valley Lodges or ski/ride in-between lodges. Please review website information of what lodge is best for you to start your visit.
All indoor seating areas are at 50% capacity. Due to limited capacity, cafeteria tables are limited to 45 minutes and Slopeside Pub & Grill tables are limited to 90 minutes.

We are encouraging all guests to boot up in their cars. Lockers will still be available for rent to store your items and will be sanitized each night. There will be very few benches in locker room areas.
We will be limiting the number of guests allowed within our facilities. If an area has reached capacity, please be patient!
