New Jersey Newsroom: New Jersey's first ski area

A winter's Friday is the time for a weekly mass exodus as folks can seen heading out of the area to ski slopes in the Catskills, Poconos, New England by car, and beyond by plane.

But there was a time (before the interstate and before air travel became routine) that many more folks opted for local slopes. And local slopes there were. Names like Great Gorge, Vernon Valley and Snow Bowl are now part of New Jersey's past. Today only Campgaw, Mountain Creek and Hidden Valley remain.
