I grew up skiing in Western PA, mostly @ Seven Springs. I now live in central PA and have skied most of the big resorts in the Poconos as well as WV, VA and MD. Seven Springs is definately the best all around resort on the east coast south of New York. I put Blue Mountain second, it has excellent terrain but lacks the atmosphere. Seven Springs has a wide variety of terrain. It can get crowded but you can always find an uncrowded, fun slope or two that will keep you coming back. The amenities are tops by far.
