Let’s go on an action-packed adventure today, Pittsburgh! We all know, and most of us have probably been to, Seven Springs and Hidden Valley.

Get ready for a breathtaking adventure at Laurel Mountain Ski Resort, tucked in Laurel Mountain State Park in Ligonier, where you'll find the steepest ski slope in PA.

That's right. Do you have what it takes to whiz down Lower Wildcat Slope, which boasts a 72 percent grade?

Oh, but it gets better. Much better. Ski down the highest vertical drop — 761 breathtaking feet — in all of Pennsylvania when you visit Laurel Mountain Ski Resort.

Of course, if you're not an avid skier or want to learn how to ski before you hit those epic slopes, sign up for one of the resort's lessons.

Or, perhaps snowboarding is more your style? You can do that, too, at Laurel Mountain Ski Resort.

And, when you get a bit too chilled, head indoors for a relaxing break and a delicious meal at Laurel House Cafe or Wildcat Lounge, the latter of which features a cozy fireplace.

Having too much fun at Laurel Mountain to go home? Stay overnight at Seven Springs or Hidden Valley, both of which offer lodging packages with Laurel Mountain Ski Resort.

Laurel Mountain Ski Resort is located in Boswell, PA.
