"After closing on Tuesday, Cliffhanger, a double diamond slope and the only open terrain at Camelback Mountain, was pretty skied out. Bare spots, dirt patches, and thin coverage both at the top and bottom of the run could be seen. The middle section of Cliffhanger had the best coverage, and the hope was that snow groomers could pull off their magic and make it to this weekend, May 8 through 10, but in the end, Mother Nature always wins."
"It has been a historic, record-breaking season for Camelback Mountain, which started on December 3, making it the first ski resort to open in Pennsylvania for the winter. Tuesday marked its 138th day of operation-the longest season in Camelback Mountain's history. It is a huge accomplishment, and many other ski resorts and people around the country have taken notice."
"While some ski resorts in higher elevations and colder temperatures started closing in March and April, Camelback Mountain was pushing to make it to the month of May. The team at Camelback Mountain made that a reality under the new leadership of Jason Bays, VP and GM of Camelback Mountain Resort."
""This season marked one of the most successful and memorable in Camelback's history! Extending skiing into May was a significant achievement for the team and something that truly resonated with our guests and community. We're incredibly proud of the energy, passion, and momentum the resort carried throughout the season," Bays wrote in an email to SnowBrains."
Camelback Mountain’s 2025-26 season ended May 5 with a Cinco de Mayo party. Cliffhanger, the only open terrain and a double diamond slope, was heavily skied out, showing bare spots, dirt patches, and thin coverage at both the top and bottom. The middle section held the best coverage, and snow groomers were expected to improve conditions for May 8 through 10, but rain arrived on Wednesday and was forecasted daily for the rest of the week. The season began December 3 and became the first Pennsylvania ski resort to open for winter. It ran 138 days, the longest in Camelback Mountain’s history, under VP and GM Jason Bays.
