A Day At Ski Denton

When I think of Pennsylvania ski resorts, a few come to mind: Sno Mountain, Jack Frost, Camelback just to name a few, but there are a few little lesser known resorts around.

The resort rests atop the modest Denton Hill which has a vertical rise of 650ft which is by no means the biggest in PA, but that's not what Denton's about. What I noticed and enjoyed was good snow, low wait times for the lifts, and lots of switchbacks.
