A ski resort in New
Jersey where the lines are longer than the trails, the
food is pricier than the lift tickets, and the only thing more plentiful than the potholes in the parking lot is the attitude of the locals. Don'
t worry, the 45-minute wait to get on the 2-minute chairlift is totally worth it for the breathtaking views of the Jersey suburbs.
North (aka Vernon Peak) and South. North is where you'll find the drunk 30-50 year old rich New York City
parents, sipping champagne and complaining about the lack of artisanal
coffee options while their
kid is off in a $200
ski lesson. It's like a real-life game of ' Skiing and Sipping,' where the goal is to see how many craft beers you can drink while still managing to stumble back to your Audi Q7 in one piece.
Meanwhile, South is where the real
party's at – or at least, that's what the even drunker
15-25 year old snowboarders will tell you. It's like a never-ending rave, minus the music and plus a lot of spilled Natty Light. So if you're looking for a skiing experience that's a little bit like being in a bad
MTV reality show, but without the convenience of being able to just change the channel, then Mountain Creek Resort is the place for you!
