Skiers and snowboarders love the slopes at the local ski lodge for its 800-foot vertical rise, 166 acres of slopes, and 39 ski trails.

The 16-mile trip carries passengers along a forested route parallel to the LeHigh River, over bridges, past cliffs and mountains, and into beautiful LeHigh Gorge State Park.
