In Northeastern Pennsylvania, there’s never a shortage of things to do. With winter officially here, here’s a list of some top spots to visit this season!
Montage Mountain Resorts: Montage Mountain is a great place to go for those who enjoy the snow and adventure. The Mountain offers 26 different ski slopes of all difficulty levels.

There are seven different ski lifts so you’ll definitely make your way to the top. Make sure to check out Montage’s Slocum Hollow Bar & Restaurant for tasty food and a full bar for those of age.

Santa Trolley Ride: For those who celebrate Christmas, consider taking a trolley ride with Santa Claus himself! You will board the trolley at the Electric City Trolley Museum and take a 10-mile round trip to Montage Mountain. The ride lasts roughly 45 minutes and is filled with laughter and Christmas carols!
