    Jay Peak Conceptual Development Plan (2011-2016)

    I haven't been up 242 in over a month... but if they were redoing (rebuilding) (foundation, pipes, drainage, etc.) 242, i would make sure that the new lines for snowmaking are put in at the same time... while everything is excavated, it costs pennies to add a pipe while your on the side.

    Here's the thing: that lift doesn't need to go and bushwack it's way to the flyer if it's not to connect to stateside. Why not just stop at Ullr's Dream... Ok, i get it, you want those riding the magic-carpet-step-up-quad to access the west bowl... Ok, then, put it at the bottom of Ullr's and...

    Jay Peak April 13-14

    Hmmmm.... yeah, that would completely fit the new NEK demographics that Jay is pulling in for. As the new hotel will have more of a "dorm" feeling, the steamy college students will be now able to enjoy late night saunas to the top of Can-Am... On top of the freshly groomed trail, they'll be...

    Chairs are in the Jet parking lot. Cable is off the base terminal and first two towers. Base terminal ready to be moved up the mountain. They will have to shorten the cable. No signs of work at the top terminal.

    Who has the best natural terrain open?

    There were tracks heading out North (west, or to the left of the lake... whatever) this weekend. Saw a group of 4-5 head out there. They were guided by a local.

    Limit between state foest and jpr land... That's how it's marked in a lot of places. They have acquired that part i believe.

    Who has the best natural terrain open?

    yep! It had been a while since i've had the thrill of riding something as steep and sustained! I would love to rip a run down top to bottom without stopping... Maybe that's whati'll do next time: buy a ticket and run it 2-3 times in a day! You know, a nice snowy weekend in march... Still a good...
