| Resort Overview - reported by M. Scott Smith, DCSki Editor |
In November, 2006, Montage Mountain was purchased by a Philadelphia-based firm and changed its name to Sno Mountain. Montage was previously owned by Lackawanna County. The newly-named Sno Mountain opened for the 2006-2007 winter season in mid-December, 2006, with 193 new snowguns.
In the past, Montage Mountain was known for its good snowmaking and being generally less crowded than other Poconos resorts. The resort has been popular with upper intermediate and advanced skiers, with plenty of steeps to challenge both and a respectable 1,000-foot vertical. The layout of the mountain is naturally separated by ability level. Snowboarders and skiers are also well served by an extensive terrain park.
Sno Mountain also has a tubing park.
| Summer Activities |

January 29, 2008 at 2:14 pm On Mountain this Sunday. The Conditions have been good all year (new sno-guns make the difference), but Sunday was nothing short of spectacular. Check it out... it's worth it. New Management makes a huge difference.

Wanted to Give an Update - posted by C M DiPietro
March 22, 2011 at 1:52 pm I posted a comment about Sno (the ski area formerly known as Montage) Mountain two years ago (Jan 2K8) which for the most part was quite positive. Over the past three years I have logged about 60 days at the mountain. Quite honestly, it's been disappointing. It appears that the "water park" has become a higher priority for management. The winter operation seems to be taking a back seat. My advice: Drive past Sno and go to Elk. The management team their is more focused, and is providing a superior product.
