Guys. Want to take my 13 year old twins to a ski resort close to Madison. Willing to drive 2 hours or so. Have zero snow experience. Want my kids to learn how to ski/sled. Looking for a resort name that will offer lessons and also equipment rental. Can you please chime in?
Brook there are a few,,,,,,,and not too far = Mount Peter comes to mind its in Warwick. If you want to take them tubing there are a few places not too far as there is one that I have never been to in mahwah and then there is Thomas Bull Memorial park that we have been to many times = lots of fun. BTW if things break right you might be able to Ski on your street next week
The hill in mahwah might be a good place to get started if you have no idea what you’re doing but check to make sure about rentals and lessons
camelback in tannersville, pa is another good option a little over an hour away. https://www.camelbackresort.com/plan-your-stay/specials-packages/
Come to the Poconos, aka the 6th borough and ski at Camelback. I grew up 5 minutes from there, beautiful mountain. Stay the weekend and enjoy the indoor waterpark Aquatopia which is a lot of fun, even for adults.
Check out onthesnow.com conditions are so variable in the northeast you really can’t reliably plan in advance. Almost always a game time decision in the morning so you’re wise to look for someplace that’s a short drive.
You can always hit the slopes where ever you want. You just need to know the right person in a shady area.
Somebody from work also suggested that. Too many options. Will book something soon. Thanks my friend.
NJ? Try Mountain Creek in Vernon Township. https://www.mountaincreek.com/ It used to be called Vernon Valley/Great Gorge. I used to ski there as a teenager. That was when The Playboy Club was a mile or so away. That later became low income housing, then a gigantic, dilapidated hotel that was only partially opened for operation. A lot of drugs, prostitution, some stabbings, and a couple of murders. Happy skiing!
