Letter From the GM: 138 days. One incredible season.
Well… that’s a wrap on the 2025/26 ski season at Camelback Resort.
Tuesday’s Cinco De Mayo Beach Party ended up being our final day of skiing, as the combination of heavy rain and high temperatures this week finally caught up to us. We pushed this season absolutely as far as we could and honestly, that feels pretty symbolic of the entire winter we just had together.
Camelback finished with 138 ski days and, on the last day of Tuesday, May 5, we were the only ski resort operating that particular Tuesday on the entire East Coast. We went out on our own terms, doing our own thing, right to the very end.
This was officially the longest ski season in Pennsylvania.
We made snow in SIX different months this season — November, December, January, February, March, and April. Our first snowmaking guns fired up on November 10, 2025, and we never stopped pushing to keep the mountain alive for our guests.
But this late season campaign was never just about squeezing in extra laps. It became about camaraderie, community, spring afternoons at the mountain, and proving that skiing in the Poconos could feel different. The energy around Beach Party Weekends, late-season laps, and seeing so many familiar faces out there every weekend was something special.
What a season it was.
We made snow often and aggressively.
We were nearly 100% open by early January.
We reopened Summit House.
We brought back our popular children’s ski programs.
We skied until 1 AM twice for Club Camelback.
We eliminated paid general parking.
And we lowered season pass prices for next season to make skiing and riding more accessible for more families across our region, something we are committed to continuing moving forward.
And yes… for everyone already asking:
We absolutely plan to make another late-season push next year. Bigger. More snow. More events. More spring skiing.
At the end of the day, what makes Camelback special isn’t just the snowmaking, the lifts, or the events — it’s the people. Watching our team battle through weather windows, stay late, come in early, push to open terrain, and create memories for families day after day was incredibly inspiring. During the monster snowstorm of the season, nearly 300 associates stayed overnight at the resort so our guests could wake up to fresh powder laps and a fully operating hotel/waterpark first thing in the morning. That’s the kind of passion, pride, and commitment that exists here. The energy around this mountain all winter long was real, and all of us felt it.
On a personal note, being able to come back to the Poconos this October and help lead this mountain means more to me than I can properly put into words. I grew up here. I learned to ski here. I worked here as a teenager. Working alongside 1,500 unbelievably dedicated team members who care so deeply about this mountain and our guests has been incredibly special to me.
I could not be more proud of this team, this community, and what we accomplished together this season.
Now our focus shifts toward summer:
Camelbeach Waterpark opens in just four weeks.
Camlback Lodge, Aquatopia, and the adventure park all remain open year-round for an adventure in every season.
And behind the scenes, we are already working on making next winter even better.
Thank you for believing in this mountain, supporting this team, and being part of one unforgettable season.
I’ll see you out on the mountain again soon.
