Once wasn’t enough.
In a unique move mirrored by few other ski resorts, Camelback Resort, Pennsylvania, is planning to host a late-night party on its slopes that lasts until 1 a.m. on March 28.
The Club Camelback event first went off on February 28. That night, the resort spun the Black Bear 6 lift and hosted a 21-and-over party in the Pennsylvania Room. It marked the latest Camelback Resort had been since the 1980s.
Later this month, the ski resort is doing it all again.
“You showed up. You showed out. Now mark your calendars, we’ll see you back under the lights for round two,” Camelback Resort wrote in a social media post.

Night skiing operations at ski resorts throughout North America tend to wind down around 10 p.m. There are other mountains like Camelback, though, that stay open later for special events.
In Wisconsin, Trollhaugen pushes the envelope even further, staying open until 3 a.m. for its Late Night Fridays series. Paoli Peaks, Indiana, is now closed for the season, but it did have Midnight Madness on its schedule. North Carolina’s Appalachian Ski Mountain hosts the aptly named Midnight Blast Weekends.
Beyond that, if you’re itching for some moonlit skiing into the wee hours of the morning, ski touring is your best bet. Pack some warm layers and a head lamp, you’ll need it (plus all the necessary backcountry gear, of course).
Either way, night skiing is something that every skier should try at least once. The slopes are often (but not always!) quieter, and there’s something special about seeing your mountain in a different light.
The return of Club Camelback follows the news that Camelback Resort is, for the first time ever, planning to stay open into May. The decision, the resort said, was prompted by snowmaking improvements. The fact that the East has had a memorably cold and snowy season surely helped, too.
This month, Camelback Resort’s commitment to the cause has been evident. It may be March, but the snow guns are still firing.
