PALMERTON, PA.- On Wednesday morning, January 28, 2026, I stepped away from the office for a rare midweek reset—heading to Blue Mountain Ski Resort in Palmerton, Pennsylvania. Nestled in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, the mountain was freshly blanketed by Sunday’s snowfall, delivering excellent skiing despite temperatures hovering from the mid- to upper teens.
The cold did little to dampen the experience. Trails were well-groomed, visibility was clear, and the mountain buzzed with that unmistakable winter energy. For New Yorkers looking to squeeze in one more memorable outing before the season winds down, Blue Mountain’s roughly 90-minute drive makes it an easy, rewarding day trip, perfect for families or friends chasing fresh snow and a classic winter escape.
