That's good. I've heard somewhere that it's open even on Sundays. A lot of misinformation floating around...

There's plenty of articles in the press about American Dream/Blue Laws.

"Essential services" like food and gas stations are allowed to be open. Retail is ALLOWED to be open, they just face a fine. Morris county also used to have blue laws and the stores made so much money they just paid the fine and eventually they overturned the law.

Interesting article on the history of blue laws in NJ if anyone is interested https://www.nj.com/bergen/2012/11/by_the_numbers_a_brief_history_of_blue_laws_in_bergen_county.html

And an article that mentions the NJ version of the American dream (a mall of course) https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2017/06/23/11-things-you-might-not-know-bergen-countys-blue-laws/420512001/

https://www.bigsnowamericandream.com/
Kids were there sunday. Their website is a mess. They dont tell you that you must order packages if you arent bringing your own skis or snowboard. The staff is undertrained and underqualified on the actual slopes. They were told specific ski sizes and they just gave out whatever they felt like giving out. Need the kinks worked out.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Yes
Yup. Was actually just there. Best bang for your buck is if you go 2 hrs before closing.

For now there's free parking and no time limits. (Just make sure to enter the guest parking and not the parking for construction crew members)

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

There were no lines at skiing, the ice skating rink had about 3 people skating, the water park isn't open. There isn't anything else to do -the only store that's open is "It's Sugar".
