History

Ownership

From 1984 to 1991, Montage Mountain was owned and run by Montage, Inc, a non-profit corporation.[2] The ski area was developed with a blend of public and private money. Public funding was provided by federal economic development funds and a county bond.[3] In 1979, the land was purchased from Pennsylvania Gas & Water Co. for $14 million (equivalent to ${{inflation|US|14|1979|r=0|fmt=c}} million in {{inflation/year|US}}). Construction began in January 1984 and was completed in time for the grand opening in December.[4]

Lackawanna County purchased the ski resort in 1991 for $14.7 million (equivalent to ${{inflation|US|14.7|1991|r=1|fmt=c}} million in {{inflation/year|US}}).[5]

In 2006, Lackawanna County sold the ski area to Sno Mountain, LP, a Philadelphia-based investment group, for $5.1 million.[5] The ski area was renamed Snö Mountain.[6] Sno Mountain, LP filed a Chapter 11 petition for bankruptcy in 2012, claiming upwards of $24 million in debt.[6] 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 when the area was sold to real estate company Jefferson-Werner for $5.1 million.[7]

Terrain

Montage opened to the public in 1984 with seven trails and three fixed-grip triple chairlifts.[3] An experts-only North Face complex was opened in 1987.[8] North Face featured one black diamond trail (Cannonball) and two double-black diamond trails (Smoke and Boomer). A third double-black-diamond trail, White Lightning, was added in the late 1990's. North Face is served by a fixed-grip quad chairlift.

Skiing at Montage Mountain

Montage Mountain has 24 ski and snowboard trails, including White Lightning, the 2nd steepest trail in the Eastern United States.[9] 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.[10] Montage Mountain has two terrain parks with jumps, rails, and features ranging from beginner to expert. Montage also has a gladed ski trail.
