"Some Pocono Mountain ski resorts are closing today due to safety concerns for their guests and employees. Blue Mountain, Ski Big Bear, Big Boulder, and Elk Mountain all announced that the resorts will be closed on Sunday and plan to open on Monday. The concern for guests and employees takes priority, and most of these resorts do not have lodging available. That means guests and employees could get stranded at the ski resorts as the day progresses, with snow totals increasing and conditions deteriorating."
"Although it does not happen often, extreme weather conditions have forced resorts across the country to close due to bitter cold, wind chills, and high winds. Many of these resorts are planning to reopen on Monday, January 26. This winter storm has been forecast to affect over 180 million people, with over 20 states issuing a state of emergency. Some resorts in the Poconos will remain open or operate on a limited basis."
Several Pocono Mountain ski resorts closed on Sunday to protect guests and employees, including Blue Mountain, Ski Big Bear, Big Boulder, and Elk Mountain, with plans to reopen Monday. Most closed resorts lack on-site lodging, raising the risk of guests and employees becoming stranded as snow totals increase and conditions deteriorate. Extreme cold, wind chills, and high winds have forced occasional resort closures nationwide. Some Poconos resorts will operate limited hours or remain open, including Shawnee Mountain, Jack Frost Resort, and Camelback Mountain Resort. Laurel Mountain will open Monday for an extra day. Snow totals range from 12 to 18 inches and travel may become extremely dangerous.
