We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Spring Mount's crown jewel is a ski mountain, making it the closest thing to skiing for people who think Allentown is too far. The mountain transforms into a Halloween attraction because apparently even their haunted events need to sound like a desperate marketing meeting from 2003.
With a whopping fraction of a square mile of land, Spring Mount is what happens when someone takes the phrase 'close-knit community' and runs it through a suburban cookie cutter. It's the kind of place where the biggest excitement is deciding whether to drive to Philadelphia or Allentown for actual culture.
The local culinary scene peaks at a train-themed stop serving cheesesteaks, a claim that's either wildly optimistic or tragically revealing about Pennsylvania. The ski resort supplements this fine dining with food trucks, because nothing says gourmet like ordering dinner from a window on wheels.
Spring Mount once had a grand resort hotel and an observation tower that drew city folk by the trainload, which tells you everything about this town's trajectory. The area used to welcome summer people seeking refreshment, but now it's just regular people seeking something to do besides stare at the Perkiomen Trail and contemplate the Spring Mountain House that's no longer standing.
