The sunsets down to another Ski-less Early Fall-Day as this Wrought Iron Skiing Sculpture looks onward to the fast approaching Winter Season.
This image was also re-sized for my King size Duvet Covers Gallery which is now open, under "My Duvet Covers" an outstanding home decor option for the living room and bedroom. You can even find some amazing pillows to go with this as well.
Montage Mountain is a Ski Area in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
It is located 125 miles Northwest of Philadelphia and New York City.
There are 26 trails, 2 Terrain Parks, and has Pennsylvania's longest Snow Tubing Trails.
The mountain has a Summit Elevation of 1,960 feet and a Vertical Drop of 1,000 feet.
Originally called Montage Mountain Ski Area and was developed by Lackawanna County, Pa. using Federal Economic Development Funds.
In 1979, the county bought the land from Pennsylvania Gas & Water Co. for $14 million.
Construction began in January 1984 and completed in time for the grand opening in December.
In 2006, Lackawanna County sold the 388-Acre Ski Area to Snö Mountain, LP for $5.1 million, who renamed the area Snö Mountain.
Snö Mountain, LP was a Philadelphia based Investment Group.
After a short period of time the new owners filed Chapter 11 for bankruptcy in 2012, claiming upwards losses of $24 million in debt.
National Penn Bank purchased the property at auction for $4.6 million in March 2013.
The original name, Montage Mountain, was restored in May 2013 and the Ski Area was sold to Real Estate Company Jefferson-Werner for $5.1 million.
Montage Mountain has 26 Ski and Snowboard Trails, including White Lightning, the 2nd Steepest in the East.
It has a Mid-Mountain Lodge with a Patio and Grill.
Above the Lodge are Beginner and Intermediate Slopes.
Below the lodge are Advanced and Expert Slopes.
This advanced area is locally known as North Face; it features the Steepest Skiing in Pennsylvania.
Montage Mountain has two Terrain Parks with Jumps, Rails and features ranging from Beginner to Expert.
This is the Preseason for the Extreme Skier and Snowboarding Enthusiasts, but rest assured, they are indeed counting down the days.
Within the next 30 days Montage Mountain will either get snowed upon or they will start making their own "Snöw Packed Trails" to kick off another fun filled Skier and Snowboarding season…
