I had so much fun. this is 29839845 times better than ski round top. the trails are so gorgeous, the lift ride is spectacular with beautiful scenery. everything is great. The lodge/rental place where you first go in is very old-fashioned and definitely has not been upgraded in quite some time, but I actually like it. It shows the owners care about the important things like the ski/snowboarding experiences themselves. and the PRICES. extremely affordable and you get a LOT more than what you paid for. highly highly recommend.

All who complain: try running an affordable ski resort for $34/day weekday lift ticket. You can’t have it both ways - affordable and all the service you’re used to at other resorts. Instead of complaining, try being grateful that there is a place where great skiing can be had for all of humanity. Not just for the upper 5-10% who can afford $80+ lift tickets on weekdays.
Skiing should be accessible by anyone who wants to try it, and Blue Knob still makes this possible and it is an awesome mountain.
If you want faster lifts, more lifts, sushi for lunch, micro-beers, ideal snow conditions 100% of the time, then go elsewhere. The minute some corporation purchases this place, annual passes will go up to $800+/person, and lift ticked unaffordable for the average person.
This place rocks. It is what it is - one of the few privately owned, affordable, family-friendly, old-style ski areas around. The steeps are fantastic, and people of all abilities can cruise with joy...

Loved Jack Rabbit trail. I got cocky after a few clean runs and tried Forever Glade trail which goes thru the woods. I quickly found my snowboarding limits. Ended up the slide of shame to exit the Glade without needing the ski patrol:) Only 1 lift open on the Wednesday we visited. Apparently, the mountain needs natural snow for good skiing due to limited sno making, but we lucked out it had snowed quite a bit recently. Stayed in condos. Yes, they are stuck in the 70's (maybe earlier?), but who cares. Fun trip.

We decided to go snow tubing here because it's only a 30 minute drive for us. I tried to book online the day before but didn't see any spots available. I called but twice and got an answering machine. When I finally got through I was told the morning time slot was full but the afternoon was open. We booked for 12:30.
When we got there we had no idea where to go. The parking lot is a free for all and there's no signage directing you where to go. When we got to the main building there were signs directing you but some hallways were closed off (due to COVID?). We could see where the restrooms were but couldn't figure out how to get there because the hall was blocked off. We finally figured it out. We also couldn't figure out where the tubing hill was. There were no signs. Both staff members we asked were unhelpful and borderline rude. One said "out there" and the other offered "hard right".
The tubing itself was a lot of fun. There were five different lanes open and you could get some good speed going. However, our times slot had a TON of people. Once you got to the bottom it was a 10-15 minute wait to go back up. There were so many people the line stretche across the bottom of the chutes with a line going up the far chute which was closes. People on tubes kept slamming into the line of people waiting. You're going at a pretty good clip and don't have control. Some of the kids in the line were pretty little. It was an accident waiting to happen. At one point we counted 63 people in line at the bottom waiting.
When we got to the bottom of the hill after one of our runs two adults were screaming at each other and a young boy around 11 ot 12 was crying. Apparently the young boy slammed into one of the men's families by accident at the bottom of the chute. He picked the young boy up and slammed him into the ground. Then a 14 year old girl came down and slammed into them as well. The man pulled the girl's ski goggles off and screamed in her face. Both children were in different groups and not related to this man. Another man stepped in a started yelling at him to relax. At one point it looked like they were going to brawl and had people holding them back. Eventually they got on the conveyer belt that took you back up to the top. By the time we got to the top the young man's father had showed up ad was screaming at that man that slammed his son to the ground. It was pretty heated with a lot of swear words around children. We went down the hill again to get away from it.
The staff was alert to what was going on. However, the man that assaulted these children never left. We did two two more runs and he was still there until our time was up. I was disappointed that he had not been escorted off the property. I felt we were put in an unsafe position at the bottom to begin with due to the lines in front of the chutes. It seemed inevitable that something bad was going to happen.
My friend and her family went earlier I the day (the time I was told was sold out) and she said at most there were 30 people in her time group. We counted 75 in ours. It was way too many people to be safe.
This place isn't a "resort" it's a rundown shack with unsafe practices.
Next time we'll travel to Tussey Mountain or Seven Springs.

I tried to contact them about their menu for their valentines day dinner. I then tried to contact them about our snow tubing tickets. If you email call or use their social media site don’t expect anyone to write you back. I would’ve came but I’m not driving out there the whole entire way to ask you the question the day of in person. So I did leave him a message and I just politely gave them feedback that the communication is lacking on their business.

We went skiing with a group over a holiday weekend in Feb. It's a very affordable area with nice trails and friendly lodge. There was a band playing in the afternoon and a brewery was offering tastings of their beers. Kids had a great time, despite the frigid temps! Good choice for a long ski weekend with the family!

My wife and I rented a condo on Airbnb for the weekend before Christmas. I see a number of review commenting on inadequate condo accommodations. However, our on Airbnb was fantastic and well equipped. The blue knob lodge was fantastic for open breakfast through out the day and walkable from the condos. Good food great prices and just great people working there. The skiing had only opened 5 trail by now, but the snow and skiing was fantastic. Well kept, no lines and we got 5 hours of runs in about 3 hours. I liked so much I bought a season pass that day even though I’m 3 hours away. We will be back as often as possible.

Skied 2 days at Blue Knob. Glad they had gotten 4-5 inches new snow a couple of days before we skied. I gave average score as skiing was OK and I can only compare to Rocky Mountains in Colorado and New Mexico. Very small resort and only 2 lifts open first day, 3 on second day. Service was adequate. Employee said they have a hard time getting good workers to show up. Lodging at condo was below average.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have skied throughout the US and Europe. Blue Knob has serious runs for beginners and advanced experts alike. Not much there for those looking for the social atmosphere, but if skiing is your desire, this is your resort. Been here MANY times and never disappointed in the skiing fun.

How far from I 40 are you? Time and distance.

Not sure where on I-40 you intend to start. From Washington, PA to Pavia (the little town at the base of the park), the travel time is 2 hours, 18 mins and the distance is about 130 miles. The suggested route is the PA Turnpike . . . probably the fastest way. I myself prefer I-30, then PA 96 north from Schellsburg. You'll begin to see brown signs for Blue Knob once you're 10-15 miles away. Hope you'll make the trip!
Planning on taking my kids tubing here, is there a conveyer belt to pull u back up the hill and how many lanes are there?

No they don't. I would not recommend this slope for kids. They do not mark closed slopes well. The ski bindings are too tight and do not come off when you fall. My daughter was injured while exiting a ski lift with her instructor.

We're looking for somewhere to go over either Valentines or the week after....my birthday. Blue Knob is not giving very much information. Like what else is there besides skiing as neither of us take to the slopes. Just want to go to the mountains and see some snow, snowmobiling, cross country, and like any good Canadian, drink....Live in Pittsburgh. Any thoughts let me know
