Report from Monday, February 5, 2024

We live in the age of mega passes that allow skiers and riders the opportunity to visit many different mountains throughout the season. There are different types of choices to select from deciding which pass to choose, ranging from national to regional options. The Indy Pass offers skiers the opportunity to visit over 180 resorts, on three continents, with two days at each resort. One thing all skiers love about the Indy Pass is that it supports independent resorts, which keeps the history and essence of skiing alive. 

One of those resorts on the Indy Pass is Montage Mountain located in the Pocono Mountains and is right off of Interstate 81 just outside of Scranton, PA. It first opened in 1984 with seven trails and expanded in 1987 and added its North Face Complex for an expert-only ski/board area. It now has 27 trails and claims to have the second steepest vertical slope in the east with its signature trail, “White Lightning.”
