The most terrain, highest vertical, and biggest number of high-speed lifts in Pennsylvania is all located at none other than Blue Mountain Resort in the Poconos.

Now, there's another reason to celebrate: this weekend, up to 11 inches of snow is predicted to hit the Poconos.

Officials at Blue Mountain anticipated the storm, announcing to Instagram that as of today, "Paradise has reopened! The lifts are spinning 9am-9pm today."

Also, "the Terrain Park on Barb's Way is expected to open tomorrow, 1/5, with a fresh build. Stay tuned!"

Blue Mountain recently upgraded its snowmaking abilities, but naturally made fresh pow is always a plus.
