Resort or Ski Area: Jay Peak
Conditions: Packed Powder
Trip Report: Not sure if it was due to cold temps (just above zero) or the Super Bowl, but Jay was empty on Sunday. Even though temps were colder Saturday at Owl's Head, we felt it a lot more at Jay... the Flyer was almost intolerable at times. However, conditions were still top notch. Despite the windswept reputation Jay's groomers have, tramside trails like Ullr's, GM Boys, and JFK were all worth repeats (probably because the Flyer was closed on Saturday). Jay's new lodges and hotels seemed cold and sterile compared to facilities at Smuggs and Owl's Head, but luckily the mountain itself has maintained its character despite the EB-5 project.
