Skiing Montage Mountain - February 25, 2025

These pictures were taken with my Panasonic Lumix FZ80 and my Google Pixel 6a phone at Montage Mountain near Scranton, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 2025.
I had the opportunity on my way to a conference in Pittsburgh to use an Indy Pass day at Montage Mountain. This marked my first skiing in Pennsylvania and the furthest south I've skied in the East. It was about 50 and cloudy with some breaks of sun for the first 90 minutes for totally different snow than I'd skied since the last late December warmup. It started raining just before I went in for lunch and was still raining when I came back our for a few more runs after. Really pleasant snow, though, and a ton of it on the trails. There were more people than I expected on a day with rain but still not the least bit crowded. I was pleasantly surprised by how steep the expert trails are, especially White Lightning which featured some really fun soft bumps. It's not a place that makes much sense for me to drive to just to ski, but I'd gladly do it again if it can be "on the way" somewhere like it was this time.
