Pennsylvania’s Highest Skiable Mountain

Blue Knob All Season’s Resort is the place for a winter enthusiast looking for an outdoor adventure! With the highest skiable mountain in Pennsylvania it’s one of the most challenging ski resorts in the state. The resort offers 100 skiable acres, 1,072 of vertical, 34 runs served by five lifts and they have extensive snow making, so those who love winter can enjoy winter days and nights on the mountain.

The mountain is Blue Knob’s main asset. Here skiers will find an alpine skiing experience. The scenery, wilderness and numerous pines around the slopes offer a different experience than the average ski resort.

There’s also new overnight lodging options available in nearby Altoona for those spending the day on the slopes. “Altoona is ready to greet winter travelers and sports enthusiasts!
