Early Season Snowmaking and Upgraded Terrain Set the Stage for Skiing, Snowboarding and #1 Ranked Snow Tubing Fun
TANNERSVILLE, Penn. – Camelback Resort, one of the Poconos’ most iconic winter destinations, is excited to announce its opening day for the winter 2025/2026 season is set for Wednesday, December 3.
Snowmaking crews have been working around the clock as temperatures allow with hundreds of snow guns firing across the mountain to prepare a strong mix of early season terrain.
At opening, guests can look forward to Nile Mile and Sunbowl trails debuting first, with Cliffhanger to follow shortly after. A terrain park on Sunbowl North will also be available. The newly upgraded Stevenson Lift and the Sunbowl Lift will be spinning from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Camelback’s popular snow tubing park, recently ranked #1 in USA Today’s 10Best “Best Place for Snow Tubing,” is slated to open next week, adding even more early-season excitement.
Because of Camelback’s ongoing investment in high-efficiency snowmaking technology that maximizes output during shorter cold windows to deliver more consistent coverage across the resort, the mountain operations team is tracking toward a solid early season lineup. “Our new upgrades are allowing us to cover more terrain faster, so we’re set up for a fantastic season ahead,” said Jason Bays, vice president and general manager at Camelback Resort.
Guests can also look forward to night skiing and riding on select illuminated trails, extending the fun well into the evening – one of Camelback’s signature winter experiences.

- Guest Services: opens Wednesday, December 3 at 8 a.m.
