Mountain Creek Resort Sells Out Phase II of The Appalachian
Condo-Hotel Vernon, New Jersey Boasts Popular Resort Homeowner
Destination VERNON, N.J., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Mountain Creek
Resort announced today that Phase II of The Appalachian
condo-hotel, located slopeside at the resort in Vernon, New Jersey
has completely sold out. Following a weekend of frenzied sales, 77
homes were sold at Saturday's selection day event. This first
village property to be developed at the resort had already sold out
its first Phase, consisting of 100 homes. Phase I of The
Appalachian, currently under construction, is expected to be
completed this summer with Phase II planned for completion in
summer 2006. "We're delighted with the sell out and see this as a
natural development of the Mountain Creek community," said Doug
Ganssle, Director of Sales at Mountain Creek resort. "People have
found a vibrant sense of community and a wonderful year-round
playground in New Jersey. So it's not surprising to us that
homeowners have decided on The Appalachian in such great numbers."
Designed in an Adirondack Grand Hotel motif, The Appalachian will
be the cornerstone of the village at Mountain Creek and will
feature a total of 177 homes in furnished studio, one- and
two-bedroom configurations. The property will feature the highly
sought after ski-in, ski-out access, underground parking, and a
host of other amenities. Mountain Creek recently unveiled its
resort master plan and will soon play host to a world-class
commercial and residential Village, which will be home to great
shopping, fine restaurants and exciting nightlife along with a
diverse range of lodging options. In addition to the sold-out
Appalachian, the resort is finalizing its Black Creek Sanctuary
neighborhood of one-, two- and three-bedroom condos nestled in a
serene, protected sanctuary in close proximity to the mountain.
Mountain Creek is uniquely positioned in the Hamburg Mountains less
than 50 miles from New York City. The resort currently draws
visitors from the entire tri-state region and will become THE city
escape destination. While already recognized nationally for its
outstanding snowboard and ski facilities, the resort has
four-season appeal with year-round activities including New
Jersey's biggest water-park, extensive hiking and biking trails,
and some of the finest East Coast golf courses nearby. The Mountain
Creek Village is a multi-million dollar venture that will feature
every resort amenity imaginable: * 65,000 square feet of commercial
space in the heart of the Village offering a range of retail and
restaurant options for every taste in addition to an exciting
nightlife. * More than 1,700 mountain resort homes ranging from
studio to three- bedroom properties. * Conference Campus annexed to
the village, featuring state-of-the-art conference facilities. *
Aqua Club and luxury Spa. * Four-season recreational activities. In
addition to the extensive commercial and residential real estate
development plans for the Village, Mountain Creek's 1,040 vertical
feet, 46 trails and 11 lifts have received $60 million in
operational and on-hill improvements over the past four years.
Ranked #1 for accessibility by SKI magazine, Mountain Creek is
considered one of the East Coast's best facilities with the only
Superpipe in the region built to Olympic specifications and the
mountain is home to the 2006 Chevrolet U.S. Snowboard Grand Prix,
where the Olympic team will be named next January. With more than
170 skiable acres, Mountain Creek also boasts night skiing open
until 10pm with more than 1,000 lights on all 46 trails and the
tubing lanes. The mountain has North America's only eight passenger
open-air gondola and has also upgraded its snowmaking capabilities
with the most powerful snowmaking equipment in the region for a
longer ski season for winter enthusiasts. Upon completion of the
development efforts, Mountain Creek will be one of the East Coast's
largest and most attractive resort destinations following in the
footsteps of Intrawest's successful resorts, including Canada's
Whistler Blackcomb & Mont Tremblant; Mammoth Mountain,
California; and the popular Stratton Mountain, Vermont. Mountain
