Jay Peak Resort Reviews

Wish they had better options for dinning

The resort is well-located with a nice vertical drop. The lifts are arranged so it's like three separate resorts, which means skiers are better distributed. You can reach all three bases without having to walk. The food is average and mostly junk food. A beautiful place for skiing with excellent snow quality.

• The undergrowth
• Food

Glades, steeps, cliffs, etc. can find it all at the resort with the best snow on the east coast. Even gets more natural snow then many west resorts but the low elevation leads to lots of freeze thaw cycles so less of the natural snow fall builds up. Mountain is often foggy up top and icy on the groomers. Don’t expect many blue bird days at Jay.

• Excellent glades, low crowds
• No apres ski scene and town with nothing to do

Great place to ski

• AMAZING
• NOTHING

Jay Peak is my favorite mountain to go to. Great snow, usually in march. Best Mountain On The East Coast.

• The glades are amazing and a lot of good trails.
• The lodge isn’t great

If you’re a good skier and like off-piste stuff, Jay Peak is absolutely a destination! They frequently get knee deep powder and the wood trails are some of the best in the country!

• Most powder on the east coast!!!
• Cold

This is great for family and great for expert skiers ( mostly children ) because they have lots of woods and as an expert skier this is great for experts and intermediates. The only reason this isn’t the best for beginners is because there will be racers and intermediate/expert skiers speeding down the green and blue trails.

• Amazing water park and great terrain and very family friendly!
• Not great for riders my husband is a snowboarder and we were constantly waiting for him to catch up

I think is fine for a family and pro skiing the prices are too high and service is not good. The food is Awful, no espresso, no gym in the hotel, no hot tub in the hotel no Stem room in the hotel? Stowe and white face have this. If your European don’t go.

• The mountains and skiing is great
• No espresso anywhere, no hot tubs avrai le except in a water park, no gym near by, no sauna, no coffee and tea 24 hour service

We were there for what has to be the coldest I've ever been - windchill at negative 17 (and that's being generous). But I still manages to have an amazing lesson with Clare who was just the kindest and most encouraging person, despite the conditions. Serious snowfall made for fun in the powder.

• Excellent Lessons!

Overall I loved the experience, there is so much pow!!! The descent is really fun. The scenery is sooo beautiful, but unfortunately I don't think this resort is best for snowboarding. Due to the terrain and lack of incline, multiple times I (and other riders) had to undo our bindings in order to move.

• Lots of snow! Lots of turns, Very fun trails
• Not for riders
