Mountain Creek Offers Discounts 
on Learn To Ski or Snowboard Packages
Ski Trip #Giveaway Yes!!!!


Winter is here, like it or not! Some of us like it more than others. Although the shoveling is not something that our family looks forward to, we do look forward to winter activities. When it comes to snowboarding, skating, tubing and skiing, we are so there. Well, I’m not that big into it, but I am there to take the photos. There has to be someone there to take them, right! I do love the lodges
and the hot cocoa and the indoor pools. Unlike the local black bears, humans were not meant to hibernate. To get you out of the house and onto the slopes this winter, Mountain Creek is celebrating National Learn to Ski or Snowboard Month by offering Buy One, Get One Free on all Midweek Learn-to Ski or Snowboard packages in January.

Mountain Creek’s Learn-to Packages come with everything you need to get started, including: a Limited Terrain Lift Ticket, Rental Equipment, Helmet and a 1 ½ hour Group Lesson all for just $99.99 – for you and a friend. Having taught over 1 million guests to ski and snowboard since 1965, Mountain Creek is the leader in providing best-in-class first time lesson experiences.
Gone are the days of the traditional “Bunny Slope” where you stand at the top filled with fear and anxiety thinking “how am I ever going to stop?” Instead Mountain Creek has replaced that fear with a focus on fun and a revolutionary new way to teach beginners to ski and snowboard.
Mountain Creek, along with Burton and Snow Park Technologies have partnered to pioneer Terrain Based Learning. The terrain in the beginner areas are specifically groomed to assist first-timers in understanding the basic body movements and positioning required to learn to ski or snowboard. In these learning areas, the snow is specifically shaped to assist teaching. Guests will experience terrain shaped like a mini half-pipe, rollers, and banked turns designed to control their speeds naturally. Mountain Creek’s Terrain Based Learning program takes the anxiety away from learning to focus more on the fun!
Only one hour from New York City, Mountain Creek is the perfect place to learn how to ski or ride. “With January being Learn to Ski and Snowboard month, this is a perfect time to come out and try one of these great sports and there is no better place to learn than Mountain Creek. With the help of our Terrain Based Learning, our friendly instructors will have you up and skiing or riding and having fun from your very first lesson,” says Ski and Snowboard School Manager Tim Stone.
Mountain Creek was recognized by the National Ski Area Association in 2013, winning the Conversion Cup Challenge for excellence in their beginner programs. If you are looking to start your own Olympic journey this winter, then there is no better place to start than Mountain Creek.
For those that aren’t interested in skiing or snowboarding, there is still plenty to experience at Mountain Creek. Mountain Creek features the DropZone Tubing Park, New Jersey’s only Alpine Mountain Coaster, and year-round Ziplining, along with lodging, dining and two top-rated day spas.
Learn to Ski or Snowboard lessons are available daily from 10am until 6pm. 24-hour advance reservation is recommended. Call 973-827-2000for more information and reservations. Same day reservations cannot be made by phone. Guests looking to make reservations day-of must book on-site and lessons are based on availability.

It’s Your Chance To Sing Your Heart Out Along With Disney’s FROZEN
Limited Showing Starting January 31st!


Commmme on January 31st! If you are like our family you will be at the theater on January 31st, 2014 singing along with everyone else. Disney’s Frozen is so amazing. I knew it from back in October when I first got a sneak peak at the movie. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Frozen Press Junket in NYC where I spent the day chatting with Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, producers, and more. The more we chatted about the background of Frozen the more I knew just how BIG it would be. When I left the event that day I was lucky enough to get to preview a demo of the Frozen soundtrack. The minute I put it started to play in the van my family went crazy for it. It was not long before all of the songs were committed to memory. By the time the movie premiered in theaters we knew all the songs. My daughter had the advantage of already knowing all the songs before even seeing the movie. On opening day she sang along!! Of course we will be there on January 31st singing along again! How can any Frozen fan resist this chance to see this fantastic movie again on the big screen and sing their hearts out during the movie!    
“‘Frozen’ fans have embraced the film’s original songs and its soundtrack with such passion—there are countless YouTube videos from people singing songs like ‘Let It Go’—we decided to create a version that would celebrate that enthusiasm,” said Dave Hollis, executive vice president, theatrical distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s a great opportunity for families to get together and have some fun with these songs.”
According to Hollis, on-screen lyrics and a magical bouncing snowflake will accompany select showings; moviegoers can check local listings for showtimes and theaters. The duration of the sing-along run will vary by theater.

Live near Hollywood? You are going to love this! At Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre, the “Frozen” sing-along version includes on-stage appearances from the movie’s Elsa prior to each showing, plus snow flurries inside the theater. Showtimes are at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
