Mountain Creek started as "Great Gorge Resort" in 1965, on what is now known as Bear and South Peaks, by founding families the Kurlanders, Fitzgeralds and Bakers. In the early years, Great Gorge was known as a ski racing and jumping mecca, where many US Ski Team members, like Stein Eriksen, came to train and start their illustrious careers. Mountain Creek's extensive snowmaking roots can also be traced to the early Great Gorge days, where they were the first ski area in the US to utilize jet engine technology in snowmaking.In 1971, Great Gorge expanded to "Great Gorge North" which is now Granite Peak and "Vernon Valley Ski Resort" opened on what is now known as Vernon Peak. Great Gorge and Vernon Valley eventually merged and became one spectacular 3-peak ski resort. That year, Playboy opened their $20 million, 650-room Great Gorge Playboy Club to much fanfare. In 1978, Action Park, the area's premier amusement and water park, opened its doors and began VV/GG's multi-season resort era.
