Poconos PA Skiing - Renting During the 2009-2010 Ski Season

As the leaves start changing and the nip in the air descends into a definite chill, winter sports enthusiasts start turning their thoughts toward ski and snowboard vacations. Poconos PA skiing is one of the best areas to hit the slopes on the East Coast, offering a variety of winter sports, including skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and snow tubing to tempt you.

Are you thinking about a Poconos ski vacation? Wondering what you can expect when renting a place in Poconos, PA?

In the Camelback mountain resort area, many rentals available are nearby condos and houses. The area does not really provide the ski in and ski out options that other ski areas do, however, there are lodging rentals available that are literally less than a 1/4 mile from the entrance to the ski area, just a short walk with your poles and skis.

When you rent a place for Poconos PA skiing, you can expect to spend between $150-$300 for a 3-bedroom updated townhome within walking distance of the mountain, with room for sleeping nine people, a hot tub, WiFi connection and cable, and fabulous views. Weekly in-season rates for the same type of lodging will run you between $1400 and $2000, depending on the proximity to Camelback Mountain and the available amenities. Townhomes and condos in the area often provide parking spots for multiple vehicles, as well as kitchen facilities to cut down on eating-out costs.

This is a definite bonus for cost-conscious skiers, as the dining costs at Camelback Mountain can definitely add up to more than $10 per person, per meal. You'll save $30 or more per day by "heading home" and doing your own cooking in a mountain townhome.

In addition, there are homes, cabins, condos, and town homes in the nearby Pennsylvania towns of Scotrun, Mount Pocono, Bushkill, Pocono Township, and others. To find nearby lodgings, look for Pocono mountain rentals at Camelback Mountain Skier.
