jay peak ski resort

Great ski area, great staff! The terrain is what you come to Jay for, and the people keep you coming back!

Love this mountain. It feels like a real mountain vs a typical eastern "ski-hill". Snow can be awesome. The terrain is varied. There are lots of runs for a 2-3 day trip. The glades are awesome for beginners and for experts alike.

For some people, Jay Peak is a great resort. For me, it was awful. I ski mostly groomers, but I was also excited to try some of the "kiddie" glades at Jay. I went there with the understanding that they boast of powder, but was told they have some groomers, especially off of the jet lift. If that is what they call grooming, forget it. The piddly little resorts in Pennsylvania do a better job. The glades were fantastic, the problem was, to get to my favorite, Kokomo, I had endure the miserable Uhlr's Dream - a total wasteland of wilderness snow. In other words, if you like groomers and fast lifts, this is NOT the place for you. You will hate it. Also, if coming here for the first time, make sure you know where you are going, the resort is laid out in the least intuitive way possible. I have never had a problem getting around at a resort until this one.

The East is blessed with this giant. STEEP / Gladed / bumped.. and every one rips ..nothing but great skiers on this great mountain.. if you like glades you will not be able to ski them all in one day.. jump turns for ever.

This was our first trip to Jay and it was fantastic (we have skied every large mountain in VT and NY) compared to any other mountain. The snow is great, the steeps and glades are like out west! We picked Jay Peak because of the pump house...my wife likes a break and I felt this was a great way for her to have something fun to do with our baby.....well we all went and had a ball. The kids did not miss skiing which was amazing and at the end of the day went home tired and happy. The area the mountain needs to do better at is in the ski school for adults, IMO if you take a full day of lessons it should be a single class but at Jay it is two different classes. The kiddie nursery and ski school are both fine. We will go again!

Hills are good but there is only one quick lift. The others take so long and by the time you arrive you're frozen. Good waterpark for the kids.

Simply put, when there's snow you want to make it to Jay!! Every time I make it there after a storm, I add amazing moments to my snowboarding experience. Just go!

It's a very nice area. The hotel is too packed with running children. Now the tramway is another story. It's a must. It's only $10 (round trip) and worth every penny. There is a cafe/restaurant on top of the tramway so go up and enjoy a coffee or sandwich. From the top you can see Mount Washington, NH and sometimes even Montreal. I could spend all day up there. The skiing I haven't done there so I can't say anything on it

Skied Jay a few weeks ago. I asked the girl at the bottom of the lift how to get to the lodge on the other side of the mountain where I was meeting some people who were on my trip. She told me to use a specific trail and assured me it was open. It was the middle of a major snow storm. We followed her instructions and there was nobody around and me and the 2 people I was with felt list. My friend took off his skis to walk through the trees to ask for help as we saw a lift at a distance. All of a sudden a groomer starts coning towards me. I moved all the way to the side w my skis do he can pass. He came right at me and I had no where to go but back and fell down a ditch. The guy got out of the groomer and started yelling at me. He would not tell us how to get back to the open trails. He was just cursing and yelling at us to get outta here. I sprained my back and could not ski the next 2 days which I had already paid for let alone not be able to work for about 2 weeks. Spoke to mountain to complain and nobody would come down to speak to me in person. When I got back to motel I write an email and had a dialogue w a guy named Stranger who assured me he would get to the bottom of it and kept lying to me as he said he would get back to me. He kept stringing me along. Wouldn't even give me my money back for the days of skiing I missed. I begged Stranger to give me the name of the employee so I can go after him legally and my request was just ignored. Some customer service! This mountain will be hearing more of me!

Jay peak had long winding run and so many options the Everglades were endless it seemed what a great ski resort

We had purchased our tickets ahead of time on Liftopia, so our date was set in stone. Turns out Jan. 31st, was actually one of the coldest (-18C) with strong winds, that forced some of the lifts to close. Despite this inconvenience, we had a great time. The paths were well groomed and lift waiting time was not too long in spite of there being only one lift open on the Tramside (all were open on Stateside). We also took a look at the Pumphouse indoor water park while we were there. It was jam-packed full of people walking about in bathing suits, while we were in full ski gear. Interesting contrast, We will certainly be returning to Jay resort, to ski, but also give the Pumphouse a go.

Jay Peak Resort is an American ski resort located on Jay Peak in the Green Mountains, between the Village of Jay and Montgomery Center in Vermont just 4 miles (6.5 km) south of the Canada–United States border. Its vertical drop of 2,153 feet (656 m) is the eighth largest in New England and the fifth largest in Vermont. The resort opened for skiing in 1957 and currently offers 78 stopes/trails over 385 acres served by eight lifts including one aerial tram which takes up to 60 skiers at a time to the summit. Approximately 20% of Jay Peek's runs are easy, 41% are intermediate, and 39% are advanced. Lifts operate daily from 8:30 to 4:00. There is no night skiing. The lifts give the mountain an uphill capacity of approximately 12,000 skiers/hour. Passes leverage RFID technology and cost $69 for adults and $55 for children. Jay Peak has the largest average annual snowfall (355 inches or 9 metres) of any ski area in Eastern North America. The resort has two base lodges and a small lodge at the summit where the aerial tram terminates. There are also hotel facilities and a large number of ski-in/ski-out condominium units on the lower part of the mountain. Jay Peak Resort is owned and operated by a group of investors headed by Bill Stenger.

Skied Jay Peak midweek - the conditions were fantastic! Great mountain with runs for every level skier - the Vermonter trail off of the peak is a blue trail, but could be challenging to the beginner skier. I look forward to my next visit to Jay Peak!

Great place, great skiing lessons. Our instructor was amazing and incredibly patient with our kids. Our 17-year old daughter and 11-year old son literally learned to ski in 90 minutes!

Skiing variable but when there's snow its the best mountain in the east. Ski on Ski off condos line the trails. three hotels at base. Huge indoor water park and ice rink on frigid days or when there is no cover. Bill Stanger has dreams for the four season resort beyond belief. Only problem - it is way up there almost in Canada.
