Apple Mountain Ski Area

Apple Mountain Ski Area operated in Oxford, New Jersey, for a brief period from 1973 to 1979. The small local hill offered six trails, all served by a single rope tow, giving it the compact, straightforward character of a community ski area rather than a large resort. Its short operating history makes Apple Mountain a relatively brief chapter in New Jersey skiing, but the surviving details preserve a picture of a modest hill built around simple rope-tow service and accessible terrain.

With no additional recollections recorded, much of Apple Mountain’s story remains concise: a six-trail ski area that opened in the 1970s and disappeared by the decade’s end. Even limited information such as its trail count, location, and lone lift helps document the variety of small ski operations that once served Mid-Atlantic communities.
