it snowed over the weekend... prospects look positive. i'll be there on the 9th if it is open, teaching a friend to ride for the first time and learning to ride switch myself. hopefully it won't last teh whole day and we'll find ourselves making it over to the park at some point. =P

yeah it snowed here yesterday but not much around my way..I tried to ride in the middle of the street down a big hill and ate crap when I caught my edge trying to carvea turn(yeah that was fun).but anyways dont think they'll have many trails open.I plan to take my stepdaughter on the 9th to show here how to ride.which means I wont need much terain or a lift ticket.

How is Mountain Creek on MLK weekend? I was thinking of coming up with the fam Jan 17-21...any experience with this?

laz167

never been up there on MLK weekend..But can tell you that everyweekend after about 2pm it gets crowded mostly by young kids hitting the park,but i guess its like that anywhere you go during the weekend.

Horrid. NJ is the densest and smallest states and intrawest throws up tons of money in advertisement plus it's close to get to from all three of the tri-states. Any given holiday I'll be going somewhere else... Camelback, Shawnee, Belleayre, Hunter, Windham happen to by my alternative choices for stomping grounds.

Hmm...maybe we'll try Wisp then and see what's going on there...I figured the Creek would be packed seeing as it's so close to NYC. Thanks for the info...

yeah Hunters cool and spacious wyndham also and not to far from Mountaincreek about 1:45 minutes.

Well we'll be driving from SC anyways so it doesn't matter how close it is to Mountain Creek...I just figured that I'd give my family a vacation for Christmas instead of presents and Mountain Creek looked like a cool place that We've never been to...
