Ninja hedgeSeptember 19, 2015Oktoberfest is a real treat. designa Be prepared to spend some cash, and designate a driver! Prices were decent, and if the weather is nice you will have a great time.
- Amy FerraraFebruary 8, 2015FUN mountain to ski at. But super crowded on the weekends all season long. The lift lines go quickly but prepare to ski on some ice and dodge beginner skiers/snowboarders the whole way down.
Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!June 23, 2013The old Action Park. Loved Traction Park back in the days. Great memories & in winter Vernon Valley Great Gorge; skiing & all those winter sports. Awesome times, definitely have to see how it is now.- Eric StankovitzAugust 11, 2014Beautiful mountain resort with so much to do, year round... Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, water park fun and golfing are just some of the fun things to do while visiting.
Jay EaglesonMarch 11, 2015Great local mountain close to many NJ residents that live close to NYC. It's always well maintained. Weekdays are much less crowded. The weekends get packed.
MetroFocusJanuary 18, 2012Need a weekend getaway? The resort is home to the Drop Zone, the country’s largest snow tubing park. Check out MetroFocus for other destinations all reachable by bus or train from NYC Read more
Sarah KimDecember 26, 2019Avoid bunny slopes even if you’re a beginner. It’s so crowded that it’s actually more dangerous b/c there are more obstacles to avoid. You get more practicetime & room as a beginner on the blue slopes
Kenneth WooFebruary 24, 2011Even if you think you're not a terrain park person, going to south mountain is totally worth it for shorter lines. The trails are covered better too. Also getting a park pass is super easy.
Robert NeumannJanuary 18, 2017Went skiing, took almost two hours to get tickets and rentals, place was packed, and snow machines needed to run more often (east coast skiing is icy, but there was barely any snow on the surface)
Richard PerkinsJuly 12, 2010This small ski resort turns into a fantabulous water park during the Summer. Although crowded, it is sprawling, and the rides are built into the side of a mountain, interspersed with great shady fore
Crowded on wkends. Indian pass is fine but watch out for folks who always stop in middle of the lane. 2 areas in great northern is flat so don't stop (boarders) bcuz u need the momentum.
Snowboard park, skiing, Waffle House, Biergarten, schuss, water park, mini golf and happy hour
Jordan RossFebruary 19, 2011Pretty icy most of the time. Only one main chair lift open today which sucks... but I got a free hot chocolate? Does that work out? Also: Heinz makes ketchup, BBQ and honey mustard sauce... awesome!
HollyDecember 30, 2010Get here early! If u don't own equipment, rent before u get here, they ran out of boards/boots - prob an exception due to holiday w'end, but you'll save $ regardless. Guest services was very helpful.
Candice Casse VerlardiFebruary 2, 2014Snow tubing is so fun but can't wait for the summer when they have the water park open
Miguelina CastilloMarch 10, 2014I'm the most coward person, and I learned to ski in just one class with Sarah , she is the best !
Stacy LynnJanuary 16, 2015decent snowboarding! great food/bar/atmosphere for post boarding wind down..
ShyEats NYCJuly 25, 2018Don’t go on adult night, unless you don’t mind not going on any rides and waiting 30 mins in line for a drink at the bar!
Eve PaganJanuary 22, 2012Amazing tubing time. Bring your patience-ride up is long, but well worth it.
H BombzDecember 27, 2010the triple play pass sooo worth it. u can upgrade ur lift ticket for 30 bucks.. that's two more days of skiing for 15 a pop!
Ian DelaneyDecember 19, 2010Twice i got an uncooked burger... awesome spot to snowboard... stay on granite to avoid lines.. place is excellent except for the ice
Paige PiskinMarch 3, 2012LOL take your best friend snowboarding for the first time and put her on a black diamond - watch what happens lol =) Read more
JasonJanuary 22, 2010Go skiing here, take a break in the Very Important Parents (VIP) lounge on the second floor of the South Lodge. Free WiFi and TV.
Carlo GuzmanFebruary 26, 2011Watch out for shitty skiers and snow boarders on the greens and blues, they're the biggest obstacles
Darren DunaySeptember 24, 2016One of the most disgusting places I have ever been in my life. Do not go here. Bathrooms are disgusting. My wife is still traumatized. No toilet paper, overflow. The locks don't work.
Bill GrantDecember 30, 2009Watch out for the ketchup, it might be bbq sauce that some clown put in Heinz bottles. And the staff knew about it.
Don't come on opening day to get your season pass or triple play card unless you like waiting on really long lines.
