Learn to Love Snow Sports with Pennsylvania Resort Values

January is Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month on the snow in Pennsylvania and  ski areas are celebrating by offering great discounts to those who want to learn. 

Tens of thousands of winter enthusiasts migrate to the slopes in Pennsylvania every week to ski and snowboard on trails that truly offer something for everyone. You can have quiet comfort in a fantastic setting or the excitement of a downhill course. If you don't know how to ski or snowboard, you're in for an exciting experience!

Are you one of those people? It’s easier and more affordable than ever to pick up the sports. For the month of January, the 21 member resorts of the Pennsylvania Ski Areas Association will offer $5 discounts on already low midweek “Learn A Snow Sport” packages.
