I've always been a big fan of Mountain Creek. It's the best mountain within a 2 hour drive of NYC. It's not as big as Bromley or Stratton but it's also not a 4 hour drive. It's probably comparable in size to Magic Mt. Not as gall or steap as Hunter. They do have good jumps and terrain parks. One small issue is it's easy to get stuck on the south side but that's just a matter of paying attention to the map. I also wish the main Vernon lift was seated rather than standing. I do give them credit for updating their pass system, the self scanning gates make things move quickly. All and all a good mountain near the city. It's also on the Max Pass which I buy every season.
