We Stumbled Into a Forgotten Ski Area

Day 2 of the new year and our “three‑hour” vacation turns into a full Sunday road trip. We fuel up at a classic 1950s Greek diner in Milford, get totally derailed by a surprise HomeGoods stop, then go hunting for abandoned New Jersey ski areas like Tuxedo Ridge and Craigmeur before finally landing at an active resort, Mountain Creek. From empty parking lots and hidden ski trails to snowy slopes and lodge vibes, come along for a backwards loop through PA, NY, and NJ
