Second this. Perfect to actually learn. It’s wayyyy smaller then anything in the poconos, and might be one of the smallest in the area. But it’s perfect to learn (plus free lessons). With other bigger mountains like Blue and Camelback, you’ll waste 90% of your lift ticket cost. You aren’t going to go on most of the trails. And on your first day, most likely will stay on the bunny hill (maybe a green if you feel safe). But even some of their greens can be intimidating to a newbie, just based on size (vs a bunny hill).

It should also be way less crowded which is ideal for beginners. I’d try Mt Peter for your first time. Then one of the larger mountains after, depending how you feel after your first try.
