My ski club goes there every tuesday. They just made the park bigger and made a decent half pipe...13ft walls. The new park has a 40ft flat rail, some weird as triangle looking box...they call it jizilla, and then this MONSTER flat down rail. You need to watch some safety video to get a park pass. I just broke my wrist so im out for the season. and oh, they have a nice quarter at the end of the half pipe run. there are also two other small parks.
Watch out though...vertical=like 800ft. If you plan to just ski the mountain, its kind of lame. the runs are fun, but i go top to bottom in about 25seconds.

How is it compared to what? 

On the park scene, go somewhere else. Big Boulder is top shelf park wise,  Blue and Bear get crowded but both have great parks. Shawnee's park is OK, Sno Mountain has a good park and then there is Camelback.

Go to www.paskiandride.com  to get the best up to date info on the Pocono Mtns.

Whats good is they wont allow any rental equipment in the park.

What is bad is the fact that the volunteer ski patrollers are fucking gay.  Ive had 2 passes pulled there for skiing too fast, or just stupid shit.

Yes, better than last year only because of park passes and couple of new jibs, but still at the bottom of the list in this area qualitywise.  Visit somewhere else like boulder right down the highway if you can.  the beginner park at Boulder is better than the expert park at CB
