NEVER GOING BACK!!!!!!
HORRIBLE PROCEDURES!!!!!!
RENTAL TAKES 2.5 HOURS FROM START TO FINISH INCLUDING VIDEOS TO WATCH
SLOWER THAN SLOW WORKERS IN THE LODGE
PARKING NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. TWO HANDICAP SPOTS FOR AN ENTIRE MOUNTAIN. THEY NEED MORE SIGNS SO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR ALOUD TO DRIVE. THE PARKING IS FAR AWAY, YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SHUTTLE FROM YOUR CAR TO THE LODGE.
NOT ENOUGH PLACES TO LOCK YOUR EQUIPMENT.
HARDLY ANY STAFF ON THE TRAILS
ONLY GOOD THING TO SAY ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN IS THAT IT WAS 45 MINS FROM HOME. I WILL TRAVEL ANYWHERE ELSE TO NOT GO THERE.

STOLEN!
IF THERE'S ONE THING I WANT U TO REMEMBER, REMEMBER THIS:
KEEP ur SNOWBOARD locked up in a SECURE place.
I rented one, n it was stolen while me n my friend went in the restaurant to grab some food. I just put it on a shelf where ppl put snowboard, that shelf is free but is not secure!!!
btw, liftopia is just cool. i got a discount ticket in this site.

Liftopia is completely awesome because the what the mountain was charging for the day pass is absurd. The day we went was pretty empty for a sunday but i believe i can thank the thin coverage for that. Snow wasnt that bad. And i didnt realize but they have a GREAT lodge now! Just in case you bring a few friends that can't ride your level or need a break. Nice little bar upstairs and a cute firepits to chill and drink around outside the north lodge.
IF YOU ARE A NOOB - watch out! the bunny hill at north peak has drastically been reduced. Half of it is set up for the kids and the other half you have to share with grown ups and their instructors. Which becomes a bit challenging. So be careful if you do make your way up the lift.

Parking lot far away, but very nice renovated lodge, and friendly snowboard mechanics. Not crowded at all the day after New Years. Liftopia ticket also honored through my phone since i didnt have a printer at home and ordered tickets right before midnight the night before. Great experience here. Thanks Liftopia!

Just terrible! Waited in lines for 3 hours just to get a lift ticket and rentals...and then lines again to get on the lift!
written Jan 04 2012 - 02:09 PM
1 It is crowded. 2 Not much trails. 3 Far walk from parking lot to lift unless paying expensive parking fee, shuttle bus or loading area is on the other side of the road, tough for skiers. 4 Some section are too flat or even go back up hill, u see snowboarders walking skiers use their poles all the time. 5 Skiers hate gondola lift especially when it is short.
But it is close to NYC and open at night.

Resort is poorly organized. No signs telling you how to get to the "temporary lodge". Hopefully things will improve with the new lodge in 2011.

Take it for what it is... New Jersey Skiing. This place is 45 minutes from my house and while its not "proper big mountain skiing" (that's for vacation time), its most certainly good to get away for a few hours after work.
hell i just got a pass thru next year so i can take 2 hour sessions without feeling like im wasting money on lift tickets.
While i hate Mtn Creek, its still the best place in under an hour!

It is close and convenient. I did not expect a 5 star ski resort so I was not disappointed.

We'll probably never go back to Mountain Creek. To save time, we purchased lift tix on liftopia which was the only good thing that happened. Firstly, parking is a disaster and unorganized. Even if the lot says full on the highway, you can still park because there are constantly people leaving, but no one bothers to change that sign all day long. Second, rental line was very long for rentals that we waited 25 minutes before my friend went to the front to ask for the rental form. of which we were told "there are no poles left if you plan to ski". Why on earth didn't the 2 MountainCreek workers at the entrance of the line not make an announcement, let alone anyone else that works at the rental area??? This was such a waste of time for people to stand on line and not have the full set of ski equipment when they get to the front! We drove to the ski shop 4 miles down, which wound up being much cheaper than the ski resort. Lastly, and this just about made us want to go back home and cut our losses with the paid for ski lifts, but how do you have lockers in the food court, but not have any token machines right by the lockers? you have to walk to the rental tent and come back and not only that, the lockers don't even lock! Complete disaster of a resort. We will never go back.

I enjoyed my time at Mountain Creek. I am a beginner skier. It would be a lot more comfortable if the snowboarders, who go down really fast, would not go down the beginner slopes. They were scary.

You have to find a way to entertain yourself if you are advanced. Whether you dance while skiing or do jump (I did both) you have to occupy yourself on this intermediate resort.
.P.S. The waffles on the top of the mountain are good.

If you're an intermediate or above, you'll get bored REAL quick. I take my daughter who is 6 and she loves it, so we have a good time. However the mountain gets CROWDED quickly and the trails get congested in the afternoon when they start selling night passes. She skis for free but when she turns 7, I'll be looking to a mountain with more options to justify the cost. Liftopia certainly makes going there a lot easier.
