Wind holds at Jay are nothing new. They have very exposed lifts. And I would not be surprised by "cash" holds either. I suspect that SB had a few when I was there. I would not be surprised if Jay was the same especially this time of year when there are few skiers and riders and they want to cut their losses. I have had a number of days there where the lifts were on wind hold (legitimately I could guess as I could hear wind).
I agree that their snow reporting is what it is. I skied there a few times before iPhones and real time reporting, so you'd call the snowphone, get the scoop that everything would be open, drive up there, and find that there were "wind holds" or other issues.
