Melissa Roberts, owner of Ski Shack, was featured in an article discussing her nonprofit, Wild Wellness NEPA, which promotes outdoor recreation for health and well-being.
Ski Shack won for "Best Ski Shop" in the 2024 Scranton Times-Tribune Readers' Choice Awards.
This award could not be possible without our amazing team - huge shoutout to Kris, Steph, and Carrie —you’ve been essential in supporting this transformation and making our year-round outdoor programming a reality!
“When you’re on your paddleboard, It’s almost like walking on water. It is pure tranquility. Being there, floating on the water really gives me that sense of being connected to something larger than myself. I really wish more people could feel this — it’s like heaven on earth."
— Ski Shack owner Melissa Roberts
