New Snowboarding wanting advice on a day trip

[justinm]

I just started snowboarding this season. I snowboarder 15 years ago in Tahoe and never went again. I live in Hershey PA and I want to know a good place for a begineer within about 2 hours. I plan on going on a sat which I know is going to be a bad time. I also want to bring my son and wife and it would be there first time. I went to roundtop and would like to go somewhere a little bigger. Thanks

Go west to Whitetail. I've heard and seen good things about this place, but I've never been there myself. Its a decent size for PA with 900ft of vertical. Alternatively you could head east towards Blue Mountain. They're both about 1.5hrs from Hershey and have similar terrain.
