Goin' Poconuts

The seven ski areas of the Pocono Mountains are offering special values as they launch into an extended 2008 winter season following late February snowfall and continued freezing temperatures.

Guests to the four-county region can take advantage of end-of-season deals, including half-price skiing, free lift tickets, snow tubing passes and more. Additionally, snow-lovers can still take advantage of this season’s “Learn to Turn” program, in which midweek visitors receive three consecutive days of lift passes to any of the seven local ski areas, rental equipment and three group lessons when they book three nights accommodations at participating properties.*

Skiers and snowboarders have another way to save this season by going to www.visitpa.com to print a coupon for $10 off, good at any participating ski area in Pennsylvania, including all seven ski areas in the Pocono Mountains.
