| Only Vermont Ski Mountain Ranked In The Top 10 For Best Snow In the United States By Ski Magazine |
If spa treatments, overpriced artwork, and boisterous nightlife are your thing, look elsewhere. But if you
want Arctic-born snow, lots of tree skiing, and international flair, Jay Peak Resort is a must. Jay receives
more of the white magic than any resort east of the Rockies - more snow, in a record 571-inch year like
2001, than almost any resort in the country. When all that powder settles in Jay's legendary glades and
chutes, you'll need fat boards or a snorkel...or, better yet, both.

Marquee route:
Steep, exposed, and right below the tram station, the 35-degree Face Chutes are the Vermont equivalent
of Corbet's Couloir. Assess your skills before jumping in; there's no easy way out.
Off-broadway:
Perfect your hop turn before heading to Staircase. The 10-foot-wide lines and vertical drops of this tricky,
30-degree glade demand quick feet and a commitment to the fall line. Access Stair- case from Alligator
Alley - or Northway to Upper Goat Run.
Backcountry Access:
Follow the mile-long ridge traverse (past the boundary gate located near the top of the Northway trail) to
the summit of Big Jay, home to the seemingly bottomless East Face Chutes, which approach 40 degrees
and 2,000 vertical feet. Drop a car (at Route 242), take a local, and check the weather: erh.noaa.gov
Weather:
Maritime air flows up the St. Lawrence valley, southwest winds bring moisture from the Great Lakes, and
Atlantic storms channel up the Champlain Valley. They all converge over Jay Peak and dump prodigious
amounts of snow.
Apré:
No need to leave the base lodge - the Golden Eagle Lounge serves draft pints of Long Trail and Jay
Peak's own Tram Ale. On Fridays, twin house DJs Frick and Frack spin tunes and hand out T-shirts and
Jay souvenirs.
Food:
Snarf down pizza and beer at the base of the tram, or tuck into a steak at the Lodge at Jay. The best local
watering hole is the Belfry just 8 miles away.
Up All Night:
Jay skiers hit it hard and go home early. The nearest party is often at Grampa Grunts Lodge in
Montgomery Center, eight miles west. It's BYOB, but there's a liquor store across the street.

Powder Day:
Hook a right behind the Tram Haus and head to Tuckermans Chute, a one-skier-wide slot. Then hit
north-facing Everglade, a wooded basin under the Flyer quad that drops more than 1,000 feet.

Getting There:
From Boston, it's a three-and-a-half hour ride north on I-93 to I-91 to Routes 14 and 100. New Yorkers take
I-95 to I-91.
