yes, the main Stateside Lodge. I've been a season pass holder at Jay for several years, and the Stateside bathrooms have always smelled like pure garbage. I've been the first one in the lodge on many occasions, and even with nobody there they stink to high heaven. The custodial staff is pretty...

Maybe if Vail buys Jay they'll figure out how to fix the perpetually awful stench in the Stateside lodge bathrooms too...

From the Burlington Press: "The SEC's final judgment against Quiros orders 17 properties, including the Jay Peak and Burke Mountain ski resorts and two New York City condominiums, and about $417,000 in frozen cash, to be turned over to federal receiver Michael Goldberg to satisfy the $81.3...

http://www.wcax.com/content/news/Scott-to-attend-opening-of-Jay-Peak-recreation-center--474054513.html Interesting article about the sale of Jay - recent investments no doubt make it more enticing. Not much new info, but a good/quick read/listen nonetheless. Unfortunately no mention or insight...

I usually go with a few bars and a pack of fruit snacks... although a few years back some buddies and I had a contest to see who could bring the most ridiculous snack on the lift. The winning entry was a whole charcuterie spread - pre-sliced cheese and apples, bag of pepperoni, some low-sodium...

Jay is going to be a mad house this weekend - Monday is a holiday for the US and Canada, and it's the one of the only resorts not slated for that dreaded r-word later this week. That being said, I will still be out there ripping nothing but hardwoods. Single's Line Flyer Laps all day. Catch me...

oh, and this is what I originally came to say before I read and weighed in on all the sports stuff: Gunstock was niiiiiiice on Sunday. I was not planning to ski this past weekend but checked the forecast Saturday afternoon, saw 45 and sunny on the radar for Sunday, and couldnt pass up the...

I've known a couple kids that have given up skiing to focus on other sports and have never really been a fan of the idea. I think for the large majority of kids, sports in highschool never pan out into anything more than memories, it seems dumb to me to give up skiing in order to better oneself...

Yeah my bad on that earlier post, for some reason I thought I saw low temps. Friday night but I guess not, I did see snow throughout the region Saturday so should turn into a decent weekend, have fun out there guys

as soon as grass is visable and temps. hit above 40 in the flats, people forget there's snow in the mountains. I'll be taking this coming weekend off but cannot wait for the other 3 in April, looking forward to some pond skims and spring fests!

Awesome article thanks for sharing. I love the part when he's talking about all the poor conditions he's skied in and I agree with him, even a bad day on the slopes beats a good day anywhere else. People have asked me why I love skiing so much, I always tell them that there's an inexplicable...

this coming weekend might be iffy.. I was checking out various forecasts saw chances of rain thurs/fri/sat pretty much everywhere in New England, with high-ish temps on Fri and possible cooling off Sat, conditions could be less than optimal. For soft snow conditions it obviously depends on a lot...

group of friends and I are looking into making a trip to Tucks happen as well, most likely early/mid May, anyone know of a good source for getting info on conditions? Would love to see some trip reports as more and more people start heading up there

I met a guy on a lift one time who worked as a dishwasher out west and said while it wasnt glamorous, it paid the bills and he was able to ski a ton.. he worked the dinner/night shift, would wake up ski all day then head back to the kitchen for his shift. He said he'd usually get a free meal and...
