wo ski resorts—twice the fun! Cleverly situated merely minutes away from one another, Jack Frost and Big Boulder each offer outstanding skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing with entertainment to boot! So what sets these neighboring Blakeslee and Lake Harmony NEPA destinations apart? The difference is like night and day—literally! Both deliver equally invigorating snow sport sensations for beginner to advance skill levels. Jack Frost’s nine chair lifts to 20 snowy slopes keep guests going from nearly sun up to sun down. Then it’s off to Big Boulder defining what excitement into the night-meant for countless visitors through the years with seven lifts to 16 slopes.

Both sites send an invitation to warm up with some truly talented artists. Checkout the current lineup: *information subject to change

avoring the sweet success of 30 years in business, Country Kettle Candy & Gift Shop has become quite the Pocono Mountains staple! With sights set on satisfying cravings of all sorts, the destination entertains visitors and friends with over 250 barrels of bulk candy, along with a bountiful boutique and aisles of giftables sure to ignite smiles. “We’re not just a candy store,” co-owner Pam Schrenko explains. Alongside husband Lou, she shares a bit of insight to what delights patrons, “We listen to what the customers like.” “I love what I do,” she adds telling of the joy in experiencing parents and grandparents introducing

the destination to wide-eyed youngsters for the first time.

When asked how one could possibly recollect guests over three decades in business Pam explains, “I remember people by what they like.” She notes groups often splinter off wandering to their own favorite area of the store but all end up in the candy section at some point. Located on Business Route 209 just south of the Marshalls Creek intersection, Country Kettle is set to satisfy that sweet tooth or yearning for a unique boutique shopping experience any day of the week with hours from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
