Mystic Mountain at Nemacolin Woodlands - Fakten Skigebiet
Situated in the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania, Mystic Mountain at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort opened in 1995 and is an ideal learning environment for first-time skiers. Featuring 25 acres for snow sports - including alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snow tubing - Mystic Mountain has a wide variety of slope difficulty, short lines, friendly trails, and experienced instructors.
Terrain
Mystic Mountain is a fun ski area designed for families. With a 300-foot vertical drop, Mystic Mountain provides the excitement of skiing without the intimidation that steep mountain destinations present to first-timers. The Beginner's Area sits just outside the Sundial Ski Lodge and is adorned with colorful animals and padded towers for young beginners still trying to get used to their skis and snowboards. Mystic's First Step bowl is large and perfectly designed for first-time skiers and snowboarders that still need to develop skills.
Geronimo is the easiest way to the bottom of Mystic Mountain. The mountain's longest slope at one-half mile, Geronimo is another excellent slope for learning how to ski or snowboard. Nose Dive, a short, steep intermediate trail, exits onto Geronimo's slope. Grizzly Run is Mystic Mountain's second intermediate slope and provides more thrill than Geronimo, in addition to an incredible view of the surrounding Laurel Highlands.
Mystic Mountain's other slopes were designed to challenge experts. You'll know you're halfway down Cliffhanger when your stomach meets your throat. Showboat is an expert trail where skiers can showcase their talents in front of a large group of onlookers. Located next to Showboat is Glade Run, an aggressive trail with tree skiing and riding. Only the most daring skiers will battle this trail while showing off their skills.
Off-slope Fun
Situated on nearly 3,000 acres, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort features 335 guestrooms, suites, townhouses, and private luxury homes, including the AAA Five-Diamond Falling Rock boutique hotel. Nemacolin is also home to the internationally acclaimed Woodlands Spa, 36 holes of golf (including the PGA-tested Mystic Rock), six adventure and activity centers, one of the nation's premier sporting clays facilities, and dog sledding.
The four-season resort boasts an impressive collection of restaurants and shops. Lautrec, a forward-thinking dining experience with French flair, has been awarded AAA Five-Diamond status for 2008.
Nemacolin is located in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, which receives the state's largest cumulative amount of natural snowfall. Full of history, culture, and adventure, visitors to the area can check out Frank Lloyd Wright homes (Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob), Pennsylvania's largest developed cave (Laurel Caverns), the site of George Washington's only lost battle (Fort Necessity), and white water rafting on the Youghiogheny River. All of these experiences are located within 10 miles of Nemacolin's front entrance.
