Hidden Valley closed after 12-13 and will most likely never open again.

If I lived in the Dirty Jerz, I'd be skinning Hidden Valley instead of dealing with that mess at Mountain Creek.

I've always thought there would be some fun terrain to play around in on the Kitatinny Ridge if Jersey ever got enough snow. Last year may have been the year to do it, unfortunately I was out the whole season due to knee surgery.

Not the best skiers, and they obviously commit some big no-nos (post-holing), but that video certainly looks like it beats a day at the Creek to me.

Bypassing the resorts in SVT was the best option

NEW JERSEY WILL NEVER HAVE A DECENT SKI AREA HERE IS WHY: The highest point in New Jersey is only 1800 feet above sea level. Compare that with say, Kirkwood: Base Elevation is 7800 feet. Peak is 2000 feet above that at 9800 feet! But wait, MC is not even close to 1800 feet in elevation. The "Peak" sits at a paltry 1490 feet, and decends to a lofty base of around 450 feet. Heck, just slide right into the sea from there.

YOU'RE comparing kirkwood to mc? Is this a serious post? Stowe can't compare to kirkwood.

MC has almost a 1000 vertical. Same as berkshire east which was just blogged about.

The problem in NJ is crowds. THey need to expand/build more ski areas.

11-22 Snow Ridge (opening day 35") 1-7 Snow Ridge (10")
