Escape New York and Conquer the Mountain on A SNO-GO Ski Bike

Located around an hour and a half from Laguardia International airport and JFK is Mountain Creek Resort. Mountain Creek is the largest ski resort in New Jersey and the closest ski area to NYC. Known for their wide and perfectly groomed trails, this mountain has 167 acres of skiable terrain, 3 terrain parks and 8 chair lifts expanding across 4 mountain peaks. With 100% of the mountain resort covered in 1,000 snowmaking guns, you can guarantee the conditions will hold up on warmer days.

Take a day trip from the city to hit the groomers or stay at The Appalachian at the base of Vernon Peak to enjoy some slopeside accommodation. Feel free to show up at this resort after a day of work in the Big Apple since they also offer night skiing.
