Jay Peak

Jay Peak has been known for its unbelievable terrain, incomparable glades, and abundant natural snowfall for 50 years. Vermont’s only Aerial Tramway is one of eight lifts accessing 385 acres of terrain, including 76 trails.

Jay Peak's boundary-to-boundary woods policy makes it a favorite among advanced skiers and riders but the glades aren't for experts only. The mountain also has the most beginner and intermediate tree skiing in the East. If you're a begiiner be sure to check out "The Zone," Jay Peak's learning area, which features 80 acres of wide, gentle terrain and introductory glades.

    I love Jay Peak.

    Pros: Snow. Powder. Fantastic green trails. Lower mountain lifts run smoothly. Groomed.
    Cons: Skiers & riders who complicate lift operations. Skiers & riders w/out proper etiquette.
