Mountain Creek competes in this highly lucrative market mainly against Pennsylvania ski resorts like Camelback, Blue Mountain and Shawnee.<\/p>\n<p>Mountain Creek&#8217;s modern lift instrastructure is unquestionably the best in the region and the resort needs every bit of it to keep up with the huge crowds that flock to the resort each weekend. In recent years, ownership has invested heavily in updated an updated and modern snowmaking system that ensures reasonably good conditions despite an anemic snowfall of only 65&#8243;. Additionally, an upscale, new base lodge on the Vernon Peak side of the resort is on par with any of the best day lodges in the Rockies and far surpasses anything in the region.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ultimate-ski-guide-block\" style=\"margin-top:30px; border-top:1px solid #eee; padding-top:20px;\">\n<h3>Ultimate-Ski Guide to Mountain Creek<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/mountain-creek\/ski-area\/\" title=\"Ski Area in Mountain Creek\">Guide to ski area, and best mountain restaurants &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/mountain-creek\/ski-lifts\/\" title=\"Ski Lifts in Mountain Creek\">Ski lifts, lift pass prices, and discounts available &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/mountain-creek\/getting-to-mountain-creek\/\" title=\"How to get to Mountain Creek\">How to get there from nearest airports and book transfers online &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/mountain-creek\/accommodation\/\" title=\"Accommodation in Mountain Creek\">Where to stay: best hotels, B&amp;Bs, apartments, and book online &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/mountain-creek\/apres-ski\/\" title=\"Apres Ski in Mountain Creek\">Discover apres-ski bars, restaurants, nightlife and other activities &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mountain Creek Ski Resort: New Jersey&#8217;s largest ski resort is a short day trip from New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":501,"featured_media":59588,"parent":3418,"menu_order":3796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"template-type1-more.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[794,653],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3796","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mountain-creek","category-usa","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
