Any ideas which mountain would be best to go to on Sunday? Camelback is probably going to be packed, as will blue mountain...any other lesser known mountains that are as big as them?

Shawnee is usually good, and closer to NYC

Shawnee is a very small mountain, and only a few dollars cheaper then all the bigger places. I am also going from Philly so proximity to NY is a non-factor. Thanks though!

Shabbos Hagodol in Villas at Treetops & Fairway.

Yeshiva Week had well over 3 minyanim for Shabbos. We'd love to go up again for Shabbos HaGodol, and have the house stay clean for Pesach.
Anyone else going up then?

If you want to stay at Fernwood Resort (the Fairway section is somewhat nicer than the treetops section), here is a link for very decent prices - usually $50 per night, plus a one time cleaning fee of $40. You get two bedrooms, and a full living - dining area. Some units have another two beds in a loft area.

Call them.

I've been successful in having them register me for the two night minimum, and then they put in another code to give me 50% off! So, in effect, I pay for only one night.

it's legit. I've used them quite often.
make sure to put in the discount code to get the 30% off.
they will send you an email confirmation, then you can call Fernwood a day or two later to confirm that they got your reservation.

Good Luck
