Jay Peak summary

For 50 years, Jay Peak has been known for its unbelievable terrain, incomparable glades, and abundant natural snowfall. Vermont's only aerial tramway is one of 8 lifts accessing 385 acres of terrain, including 76 trails and, new this season, 4 terrain parks for skiers and riders of all abilities.

Visitor Reviews of Jay Peak


RB from UNITED STATES writes:

Jay Peak does get a lot of snow, no doubt, but don't expect the conditions to be anything like the Rockies. Wind scouring, periodic rain, and high skier density relative to Western resorts means you will ski plenty of nasty ice, particularly around the exposed summit area. Tree skiing is where Jay Peak shines, as the woods offers protection from the wind and holds the powder. Another plus: Jay is pretty accessible from I-91, meaning it doesn't take nearly as long to reach as you might think. There are "quaint" facilities. I might even use the work "dilapidated". Tram is nice to avoid the cold, but offers too little uphill capacity, meaning long lines. Should be replaced with a high-capacity gondola.
