Real Soul Skiing

Not to quibble, but Jay Peak is not 4000 feet, either in peak elevation or vertical drop. It certainly has soul though.

My heart (and the rest of me too) is in the Mad River Valley, but I love and visit Stowe, Jay, and Smuggs. If we start include bc destinations, then the Presidentials and Chic Chocs need mention.

To a certain extent, soul is where you bring it. You could be in the coolest place on earth with a bad attitude and never feel a bit of spirit energy.

The Plattekill website now features a video that was created by volunteers who wanted "to convey the spirit of Plattekill and what the mountain is all about...the soul of skiing!" Check it out:
