New Jersey's Winter Fun
Winter’s bluster transforms the Garden State into a white wonderland
each year. There is never a shortage of frosty adventures of fun and
excitement at New Jersey’s outdoor resorts. Nestled at the hills
and peaks of the Appalachians, Sussex County’s Mountain Creek,
Hidden Valley, Campgaw and High Point are home to beautiful and challenging
trails for every member of your family. State-of-the-art snowmaking
systems provide superb conditions for your downhill journey at New
Jersey’s premiere ski and snowboarding resorts. Stay in luxury
at the breathtaking Appalachian Hotel, in a resort vacation condo,
amid the lush beauty of the Grand Cascades Lodge, in the wonderfully
amended Minerals Hotel & Spa, or at charming bed & breakfast
inns.

When the snow begins to fall, it’s time to get moving! Outdoor
enthusiasts challenge the hundreds of miles of picturesque trails
for a day of cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snow tubing. New
Jersey is home to some of the most dynamic snowboarding half-pipes
and SBX terrain parks in the country. After a day of hitting the slopes,
tap into nightlife at resort clubs and at the Vernon Base area. New
Jersey's winter resorts are conveniently located within an hour’s
drive of nearly every point in the New Jersey/New York metropolitan
area.
