“Aggressive snowmaking” and the recent cold snap ignited Shawnee Mountain’s plans to re-open for skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing on a daily basis for the season. Standard operating hours, day 9am to 9pm, will be in effect. A minimum of five open trails for skiing and snowboarding will include Hiawatha, Blue Mountain, Greenhouse Slope, Little Chief and top to bottom on the 5,000’ Pennsylvania Trail. Two to three lifts will operate including the beginner friendly Little Chief Double Chairlift and the Tomahawk Express Quad to the top. Ski and snowboard rentals, group and private lessons and beginner’s packages will all be available. Babysitting, SKIwee and the Children’s Center will all be open. For online discount lift tickets and packages and to make Children’s program reservations visit www.shawneemt.com. Shawnee’s Pocono Plunge Snow Tubing Park is also operating with 3 chutes and a carpet lift to get you to the top. Single tubes and adult and child tandem tubes will be available with two and four hour sessions. Tubing Park hours are 1pm to 7:30pm starting Wednesday. Snowmaking operations will continue on Shawnee Mountain on up to 9 trails 24 hours a day as temperatures permit.
