n Pocono Pines, you will find a gem of a place adjacent to Lake Naomi. Second generation family members bring to you a pleasant atmosphere, delicious foods, good drinks and fun on Thursday and Sunday evenings with their Wing Nights!

The Jubilee’s wing menu has an amazing selection of tastes for all. Choose from a dozen different flavors served in four dozen buckets or for those who like variety in their life, opt for a two to four dozen wing sampler platter. If you prefer your wings hot you can order traditional mild or spicy buffalo wings or take it up a notch with garlic or super spicy atomic. If chicken wings on the sweet side are more your forte then you may want to order honey dill, thai peanut or mango habanero. Perhaps you prefer your wings barbecue style. Sink your teeth into spicy Kick’n, Tennessee Whiskey, Korean BBQ or Honey BBQ. If you like a less saucy style, there are three choices of dry rub wings.

See their ad above for contact info, location, and website. With so many choices on the wing menu, you will certainly leave both happy and with a full belly after your Wing Night experience!

WINTER FUN A fun and frosted haven for families, couples, friends and solo travelers, the Pocono Mountains is the perfect place to escape cabin fever this winter.

Discover six ski areas, charming downtown districts, and a wide variety of cozy accommodations.

From pristine and peaceful natural beauty to cold weather adrenaline, guests will find the ultimate winter utopia in the Poconos.

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to ski or snowboard, this season is a great time to get started. Experienced and dedicated local instructors are

ready to share their expertise and love of snow sports, and both private and group lessons as well as rentals are offered at all six ski resorts throughout the Poconos. Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain in Lackawaxen is fantastic for families and first-timers, with the base lodge located at the peak of the mountain, so you can start cruising down the slopes as soon as you arrive. Jack Frost Mountain offers beginner adult and child lessons at the Ski School, as well as advanced lessons for those looking to hone their skills.

by KATE CROLL, PMVB With nearly 150 ski trails total in the Pocono Mountains, there’s something for everyone, from beginners to experts. Explore the 166 acres of slope space at Camelback Mountain in Tannersville, the largest ski resort in the area. Snowboarders can test out some of the best terrain parks in the Northeastern US at Big Boulder Ski Area in Lake Harmony, while pros will want to visit Blue Mountain Resort in Palmerton to try the brand new black diamond trail and the highest vertical in Pennsylvania.

Check out enhancements including new grooming and

If you’re looking a downhill experience that everyone can enjoy together regardless of skill, try snow tubing! It’s the perfect way to relive the fun of childhood snow days spent sledding. Magic carpet lifts make it easy to get back up to the top of the hill, and multiple lanes mean you can race friends and families down the slopes. The two largest snow tubing parks in the country are located in the Poconos at Blue Mountain Resort and Camelback Mountain.

HORSEBACK RIDING

INDOOR WATERPARKS

SKIING snow making equipment, updated eateries and brand new rental equipment at Shawnee Mountain Ski Area in East Stroudsburg. Visit poconoski.com to explore all our ski areas have to offer.

Both are open after dark, with out-of-this-world galactic snow tubing lighting up the night at Camelback.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy the seasonal scenery beyond the slopes. Book a wintry horseback or sleigh ride, or head out snowmobiling, snowshoeing or cross country skiing at local parks. Experience the thrill of a paintball battle on the snowy fields at Skirmish Paintball in Albrighstville, or take an off-road ride over the river and through the woods on an ATV or UTV rental at area outfitters. For a more relaxed vibe, stroll through our quaint and picturesque small towns like Milford, Honesdale, Hawley, Stroudsburg and

Jim Thorpe. One-of-a-kind shops and restaurants await!

After an exhilarating day out in the frosty air, curl up by the fireplace at cozy Poconos lodgings. Book your own vacation rental cabin, experience the luxury of the past at historic properties, or add some splash time to your vacation with a stay at our enormous indoor waterpark resorts, where it’s 84 degrees even in the depths of winter.

Your cure for the winter blues is waiting for you in the Poconos!

This action sports one-stopshop for equipment like skis, snowboards, apparel, and rentals also holds a high reputation for experience.

At the forefront of guidance, Starting Gate offers more than storefront merchandise with Mal Law graciously obliging this opportunity to connect with first timers considering the sport.

“Take it slow,” he suggests.

Before conquering “The ultimate goal of carving turns,” Law adds warmth and comfort on the slopes as a means of avoiding unnecessary distractions.

Explaining “Proper clothing is vital,” he strongly recommends with a smile, “No blue jeans!”

Why Eagles O

to the Poconos

n the brink of extinction when the Eagle Institute in Lackawaxen was founded over 20 years ago by Lori McKean, eagles now thrive in the Pocono Mountains.

Supported solely by volunteers, members and contributors who are dedicated to the preservation of these regal raptors, the Eagle Institute has educated many people about the critical role healthy lands and clean water play in the survival of eagles.

During winter, hundreds of bald eagles migrate to the Poconos, joining the abundant population of resident eagles. Now through March is prime time for observing eagles in their natural habitat. Why not consider taking a self-guided driving tour through

the region this year? Eagle watching on your own can be a rewarding experience, offering the flexibility to move from one location to another at your own pace.

Visit the DHC Eagle Watching web page for with a map of designated viewing areas, sighting tips and etiquette, at delawarehighlands. org/eagles/eagle-watching.

The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau also has a great resource page at poconomountains.com/thingsto-do/outdoors-adventure/wildlife-viewing/eagle-watching, with a downloadable sighting map.

Kettle Creek Environmental Education Center has an Eagle Watch Bus Trip planned for Tuesday, January 25th. Visit mcconservation.org or call (570) 629-3060 for more information and to reserve a seat.

Pocono Environmental Education Center has scheduled an Eagle Watch trip for Saturday, January 29th. Visit peec.org or call (570) 828-2319 for more information and to reserve a space.

Some eagle viewing blinds may not be open due to COVID-19.

If the blind is open, please wear a mask, practice social distancing, and limit the number of people inside at one time.

If the viewing blind is closed, it is important to remain inside your vehicle to avoid disturbing the wintering eagles, and to park only in designated areas.

If the viewing areas are not open, parking areas may not be cleared in a timely manner. Use caution in snowy or icy conditions.

Visit Delaware Highlands Conservancy on Facebook and Instagram for virtual Eagle Watch content, with photos, videos, updates, and current educational information on the eagles in the region.
