Ride Delaware ? Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 I've never been, but I've always wanted to knock snowboarding in New Jersey off my list... 1 Quote
RootDKJ Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 Never go there on a weekend or holiday Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 That's where my dad learned to ski when it was called Vernon Valley/Great Gorge. They had a playboy club there as well.

Barb Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 So I lived in "gaudy summer home" territory. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 So I lived in "gaudy summer home" territory. Yeah but you weren't a shooby.. I'm mostly in northwest NJ and that area is like a less developed Poconos. Quote
enjoralas Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Posted December 7, 2016 Great news. Have you ever been there?? No, I've never been there. I'm interested in trying out every nearby area at least once though. Just figured I'd add a data point. Was looking at deal sites trying to scope out lift deals and saw one for there and got me intrigued about where they were at. 1 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Not a real fan of Mountain Creek. Of the two main peaks one is all park and the other is only served TTB by the Cabriolet lift which I consider the worst of three worlds in terms of lifts. You have to take off your skis to ride it like a gondola, but it is open air so you get cold and you have to stand the whole way up like a tram. About the only way they could make it worse would to be to make you hold on to the rope that pulls the thing up yourself. There is one good steep run off the middle peak, but it is served by a slow lift and is one of the last things they open. And the clientele is young, mostly boarders, mostly New Yorkers and, adding that all up, about as rude as you woukd expect. But I used to live 45 minutes away so I have been there a lot. Though even then I sometime opted for the much smaller place that was virtually in its shadow - Hidden Valley (no longer operating) - which while smaller was cheaper, empty, nice people, normal chair lift. If you are a boarder who loves doing park you may well love Mtn Crk. But for me, now that it is no longer half the distance of the closest other options, I am unlikely to go back very often. Have not been for at least 5 years. Edited December 7, 2016 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

enjoralas Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Posted December 7, 2016 Most years they sell a $99 card good for any three days. They have one for $109 this year. Good deal, but I won't make it there 3 times. Probably not more than once. Looks like their website sells tickets like liftopia. Can be cheap if you know in advance what day you want to go and are sure about it. For giggles I picked the last Saturday in Jan (didn't buy) and it was $30. Quote
