Sledding in Pennsylvania February 04, 2022 Tori Jane Where can I find the best places to go sledding in Pennsylvania? Pennsylvania is one of those states where winter is seriously one of THE most fun times; part of the reason for this is that it’s an awesome place to grab a sled and go careening down a snowy hill. This awesome childhood winter pastime is easy in this state; luckily for us, we’re surrounded by hills and embankments that are great for sledding. We do have some favorite locations just for this occasion, though, like the epic sledding hill at Codorus State Park. How many times do you think you can go in an hour? If you head to Frick Park, located in Pittsburgh, you can find Blue Slide Hill, which is a local favorite. Then, in the Philly area, you might want to visit Fairmount Park for some of THE best sledding there is. Are you a lover of all things winter? Well, then, you might want to check out this article of all the things you need to add to your Pennsylvania winter bucket list ASAP. Are there any ski resorts in Pennsylvania? There most certainly are! With lots of snow and hills comes lots of resorts, and we love it. Some of our favorite ski resorts in Pennsylvania include Liberty Mountain Ski Resort, in Fairfield, which is great for families with toddlers and small children. In Boswell, head to the Laurel Mountain Ski Resort, and while in Lehigh Valley, you can’t miss the amazing Bear Creek Mountain Resort. Oh, and we can’t end this without a nod toward our friends at Spring Mountain Adventures, in – you guessed it – Spring Mount. Each of these places offers up memorable experiences you nor your family and/or friends will forget. One might even argue that winter is the best time to get outdoors and enjoy Pennsylvania.
