Skiing isn't only restricted to the giant mountains in Colorado, Utah, and California. On the contrary, the mountains on the east coast offer the opportunity for skiing as well--including those in Pennsylvania. One of the most visited mountain ranges in Pennsylvania is the Pocono Mountains. Skiers will find a multitude of ski resorts in Pennsylvania, most of which are at the base of the Pocono Mountains.
