We have gone to Spring Mountain many times with family and friends. It has always been for Snow tubing. We were happy with the experience. The food choices are also fine.For Snow tubing this place is great.

Check out specials for skiing every night for the kids and upstairs in The Powder Pig Pub enjoy the adult specials. I had the French Onion Soup and the Brie, bacon and pear toastie. Sure made those 4 hours fly by while the kids had their fun. The staff was so friendly and engaging, Andrew is creating some great grub while Gail wets your whistle..

With the ski season approaching I figured I would revisit my review of Spring Mountain and provide an update. After learning to ski at Spring Mountain 5 years ago Spring still remains my kids' favorite local place to ski and ride. Spring is perfect for beginners and young families. My girls (now 8 and 11) can ski there all day and have a great time. Sure it's small and not very challenging for hardcore skiers but that doesn't mean you can't have a blast there. For my kids it's a manageable and friendly place to enjoy winter. It's also cheaper, typically less crowded, and has better ski/snowboarding instruction than other mountains near Philly. If you are looking to dip your tip into snowsports or introduce your kids to snowsports this is a great place to start.Tips: 1) If you have progressed past the bunny hill and are looking to avoid some of the lift lines head to the "back side" runs (right side of the map). Since many of the patrons are first timers or in lessons this side of the hill is usually quiet.2) Food options are a mix of the in-house cafeteria and food trucks on the weekends but can get crowded at lunch. Do yourself a favor and take your lunch break early (11:30) and get back on the slopes by noon. While the lesson groups and everyone else break for lunch you'll enjoy an hour of shorter lift lines and open slopes.3) Get there early and don't stay too late. Spring does not tend to get busy until midday. If you arrive when it opens, take and early lunch, and head out around 2pm you can avoid most of the crowd wave (and still get 5-6 hours of skiing in).

We paid for lessons for our two teens, and the instructor was so great with both of them. They learned within the hour, and we all had a fabulous time skiing together afterward. The staff inside and outside were friendly and helpful.

You have to know going in that a "mountain" in Montgomery County PA with 9 trails is not going to satisfy expert level skiiers. But it's a good, close place to take your kids to learn how to ski. A $65 package for rental, lesson and beginner ski hill for a full weekend day is a good deal. The kids had a great time, and by the end of the day, could ski all the way down the beginner hill without falling. I didn't have to worry that they would have to endure any intermediate trails. I've seen complaints of rude staff, but I found everyone very nice and helpful. Maybe some of the teenagers working could have been a little more focused--but they are teenagers putting person after person (including tons of beginners) on the lift all day long--what do you expect?I would definitely take the kids back.

This place is very small only has 3 lifts but only 2 take you to the "top" which is not really that high. It is good for beginners and children to learn how to ski and snowboard..

My son went with his sixth grade class event snow tubing and had a terrible time.1. Disorganized and unsafe - 5 minutes in someone broke their nose. My son hurt his leg. The runs are not safe. Too steep and have to bail out fast before you hit the airbags at the end. Entire walking ground area was all ice and people were falling down,.2. Parents not allowed to view or take pictures without a ticket, meaning we couldnt see what was happening and my son said there was much shoving and pushing and bullying going on in the lines with all the people there.3.My son was there for 4 hours and only got to go down 4x as a 40-50 minute wait each time as it was so disorganized and way too crowded and folks were cutting in line and no one controlling it. There were only 2 lanes for tubing (and on a group event night!), and then one shut down as the person broke their nose on it. 4. Employees were rude. They gave my son a baby tube once he could not fit on (he's over 5ft tall) and was dangerous to go down. When my son protested he was told to 'deal with it'.5. The lodge was run down and dirty - but the pub was new but the food not so great. 6. There were no changing rooms and the bathrooms were filthy.WOULD NOT EVER EVER GO BACK! Place needs a major overhaul and to be checked for safety standards or shut down!May be less expensive than other places and closer if you live nearby but NOT WORTH IT.

Tried to sign up my fourth grader for the free snowboard lesson and equipment rental package for first timers. Due to confusing signage, I ended up in the rental line first. Since I had not gone through the lesson line first I was charged for rentals. When I asked why I was being charged, the young cashier said "Take your report card to the line for lessons and they will credit you there when you sign up." However, when I presented at the line for the free lesson I was told that they would not give a credit for the rental since "you have to go through the lesson line first to get the free package." When I spoke with the manager [the owner, it turns out] and explained to her that it was her staff member who told me they would credit me on the back end (otherwise I would not have finished in the rental line first), she became immediately defensive and said she checked with her staffer. The owner insisted that I was not told about a credit. Upon my rebuttal, the owner confronted me with "Are you saying [the staffer] is a liar?"Honestly, I think the poor young girl was afraid to admit a mistake to her pit bull owner, but the real point is that the policy is absurd, and, in the name of customer service, the owner should have just allowed the credit to let our family have a positive experience and enjoy the day.There are plenty of other places to take my family to ski, and I won't spend a dime at Spring Mount. But I will share my poor experience far and wide.

I always wanted to try ziplining, so when we got an online coupon deal I couldn't pass it up! My husband and I did the Full Monty tour which took about 2-1/2 hours with a group of a dozen people. Our guides were friendly, helpful and encouraging. We never felt scared or in danger because we were always attached by our "lifeline." The ziplining itself was fun and exhilarating. There were a few challenges on the ropes course that were intimidating (walking the swaying bridge even with handholds was nerve-wracking for hubby) and crossing a thick rope hanging from our hands and legs was tough but provided a serious "Yay me!" feeling once reaching the other side. Though most of the people on our tour wore shorts, I would recommend wearing long pants because some of the course has potential to provide rope burn. We also brought along a small backpack to carry water. We did purchase the $7/pp photo package and were glad we did, we would do it again but next time we will also bring our own small camera to provide some extra shots. Another thing we didn't plan but worked out in our favor is the fact that we were the last people in line to go on every challenge. That gave us the opportunity to watch everyone's else's technique to see what worked and what didn't for planning our crossing. We will definitely go again and take our kids when they are old enough.* A note to reviewers who say they had a more amazing zipline tour in Costa Rica or whatever exotic location, of course you did, I would be disappointed if you didn't! But we only had to drive 45 minutes to have this experience and it was wonderful!!!

even though it was expensive but was totally worth it if you are looking for a controlled adventure.
