Want to incorporate some skiing and other winter-time activities during your meeting or conference this winter? Bear Creek Mountain Resort & Conference Center in Macungie, Pennsylvania is making the ski component of winter meetings easier for meeting planners with a new Give Your Meeting a Lift promotion. Through March 31, 2009, for all meetings and groups booked at the venue, attendees receive: a pair of midweek, extended day lift tickets; complimentary continental breakfast & welcome gift in guest rooms. Recently, improvements to the Bear Creek Mountain Resort & Conference Center ski areas include a new quad chair lift, expansion of family and teaching terrain areas and the addition of 14 automated snow guns, increasing production by 30 percent and allowing trails to open earlier in the season.
