Camelback Resort To Open Three New Ski Trails for First Time in Decades
As the ski season approaches, Camelback Mountain Resort, Pennsylvania, is unveiling a trio of new trails—adding new terrain to its slopes for the first time in three decades—alongside some other 2026-27 improvements.
The first new trail, a double-black diamond trail, is accessible by the Stevenson Lift and connects with the pre-existing Pharaoh’s trail. It “should be a lot of fun when the snow is good, or the cord is fresh,” Camelback wrote in a social media post.
The next is a blue-square trail branching off the skiers’ left of Upper Cleopatra and connecting to Big Pocono. “This one is all about progression. More room to work on linking turns, changing your line and getting comfortable skiing through tighter terrain,” the post reads.
The third is a black-diamond trail beneath Black Bear 6 that provides a new route from Basilisk to John Bailey.
It offers “super fun rolling terrain” and “some turns to work through,” Camelback noted.
In a release, the resort also highlighted the debut of the Alpine Outpost, a new spot for food and drink along the Coolmoor teaching trail, where most of the resort’s ski and snowboard lessons take place. It’s billed as a place for parents and others to fuel up while keeping an eye on the learning area.
A new hot chocolate bar off the ski trail coming from Upper Cleopatra will open next season, too. Ahead of the season, Camelback also repainted all of its lifts evergreen, as well as installed a new gearbox in the Bailey Lift.

The updates follow a memorable season for Camelback, which stayed open into early May for the first time in its history after a sizable snowmaking push.
The most recent improvement to Camelback’s lift fleet came in 2022 with the installation of the Black Bear high-speed six-pack. Two years earlier, the resort debuted the Sunbowl quad.
