piusthedrcarve Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Has anyone ridden Blue Knob before? Are their slopes carving friendly or with kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I've never been to Blue Knob. Rumor has it the place is a bit rough around the edges. This is coming from my local skier pals. Based on what Ive read at the ski report sites and based on a few dusty old threads over at DCSki, it appears that BK some of the tallest/steepest runs in PA. Sounds like the local advanced skiers really dig this place when there's ample snow coverage. But all accounts seem to agree that they have limited snowmaking capabilities. I vaguely recall that Blue Knob has changed hands a couple of times in the past decade. If I had good reason to believe that snow conditions at Blue Knob were decent on a day when I was headed out to another nearby hill then I'd definitely be willing to put in some extra drive time to check it out. I'm remembering now that about 10 years ago (right after I had moved back to DC from being in the northern rockies) I had made plans to go to BK with some coworkers. One of them grew up skiing BK. When my pals picked me up the morning of the outing they said that snow conditions weren't right for BK and so we ended up going to Whitetail instead.

Derek53 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Blue knob is actually my main mountain. Has one or two slopes that can good for carving, but you need the snow. The mountain tends to get icy, but like Fish said. When there is snow the lower mountain is great terrain for skiing and boarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
