MACUNGIE, Pa. — Just a month after winter's last snow deposit in the Lehigh Valley area, it looks like area ski resorts are winding down their seasons.
But it's on a good note.
Bear Creek Mountain Resort near Macungie said it will end its 2024-25 ski season on Saturday, March 15, after being open 97 ski days — which it said was one of its longest ski seasons ever.
Last season lasted just 69 ski days.
