s a well recognized East Coast snow sports sensation, the Pocono Mountains takes destination-pride sharing magnificent resorts that cater to every sort of skier, snowboarder and snowtuber. Ideally situated just a short drive from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia regions is the reason enthusiasts spend more time on the slopes and less time traveling.

Sharing a key on where-to-be, this edition’s map pages help give an idea just how close a day of

4

play is. Plus, a look to the right for “Before the Ice” insight shows how properly preparing with what to wear there can heighten comfort and enjoyment.

While diamonds are practically everyone’s best friend; being aware there’s medium and beginner slopes, plus snowtubing options, offers opportunities to try a new experience. To help with that, we’ve folded in some of the

hottest spots’ trail maps and stats to wrap-up all there is to know before you go.

Lastly, let’s not forget January is Learn to Ski & Snowboard Month across the nation! What better situation than to consider this as an exhilarating outdoor activity the entire family can enjoy whether here for the day, two or staying a few.

At the forefront of advice, Starting Gate offers more than storefront merchandise with Mal Law graciously obliging this opportunity to connect with firsttimers considering the sport.

“Take it slow,” he suggests.

“No blue jeans!”

Before conquering “The ultimate goal of carving turns,” Law adds warmth and comfort on the slopes as a means of avoiding unnecessary distractions.

Listing waterproof essentials like hats, gloves and insulated socks of the utmost importance for endurance, plus helmets for all ages, he closes in his list of Law(s) in Order to enjoy this magnificent means of experiencing the great outdoors.

Explaining “Proper clothing is vital,” he strongly recommends,
