Hello! Today we have a nice 5 cm of powder snow covering the lower slopes and 8 cm at the summit. Since we had a lot of skiers last weekend, we need to remain vigilant on the slopes as there could be slicky patches under this layer of powder snow. The base is generally firm with good coverage. The temperature was -11°C at 5 a.m. and will remain so throughout the day. We're expecting a mostly sunny day, so come and get your fill of vitamin D! Also, 93% of the mountain is open today. Enjoy your run! from Mont Sutton

I have been skiing 30 plus years and I have skied all over the USA and Canada East to West. Jay peak is in a league of its own for snow quality and quantity compared to any other eastern ski resort. I have had just as many powder days at Jay peak as I have had at SnowMass or Alta. The difference with those places is they are way bigger, so less tracked up and snow stays for days and weeks as powder due to elevation. With Jay you have to plan around the weather and when it dumps stay there a few days, it won’t disappoint. It’s honestly as gnarly as it gets.
