Jack Frost is a mountaintop ski area near Blakeslee in the western Poconos. It opened in 1972 and is now owned by Vail, accepting the Epic Pass. Lift tickets are valid at Big Boulder, about 10 km away. Jack Frost is an "upside-down" ski area, with the parking lot and equipment hall at the top, and skiers ride the lift back up after each run. It has about 20 runs and a vertical drop of about 180 meters, mostly intermediate and wooded runs. Its trails are longer than those at nearby comparable resorts, making it best suited to skiers with some experience. There is also a snow tubing park. The season usually runs from mid-December to March, and tickets should be purchased in advance on the official website. Lake Harmony has many vacation rentals nearby, making it a good weekend ski base.
