    Jay Peak bombshell

    There is also a arcade at Stateside inside Clips and Reels if you want to avoid humidity and chlorine. For food I'd stay off mountain and head to the Belfry on 242 (Montgomery side) which is a locals place with good food and atmosphere. Jay Village Inn (on Jay side) is good also. The Snow Shoe...

    Jay Peak Thread (New owners, New Future)

    There is a ton of snow up here, all trails open and skiing well. They groomed some of the natural snow trails to even out all the powder. Ungroomed trails and steeper glades are bumping up and were fun yesterday. Low angle (beginner) glades like Moonwalk and Bushwacker have great coverage and...

    RIP mike the jay peak pirate

    Nice picture, BTW the blue border is meant to be signed and there are markers there. Michael also had another tribe of wonderful people at Parker Pie in Glover one exit down from Jay on 91 where he worked as a pizza chef after lifts closed. It's a cool, funky place with great people and food...

    RIP mike the jay peak pirate

    There's a table with flowers and other remembrances by the lift. Michael's Jolly Roger is hanging at half mast on the Bonnie catwalk. His vibe and stoke have not left, and doubt they ever will.

    Jay Peak bombshell

    If I remember correctly, it was pretty close to going ahead before the scandal. It was funding availability I believe. Cost was around 7 M, again my memory is fading. I do however remember at that time Bill joking about the Bicknell thrush

    Jay Peak bombshell

    The Bonnie will be extended whenever it happens. before the meltdown, they ran electrical from the base to the Northway crossing for a detachable chair maybe a 6 not sure. The new upper terminal was supposed to be at the exit of St George's prayer. So it would be above the Northway. Doubt a...

    I find it deliciously ironic that Quiros senior was a prison guard in the Army, now on the other side of the bars. Karma Baby!

    Jay Peak bombshell

    Well, we'll soon find out Jay's destiny and this thread can be mercifully buried. RIP IMO Jay does not easily fit into a tidy box like other ski areas, thankfully. Hopefully that will help in who buys the mountain. Over the years there has been a steady migration of skiers here to Jay that have...

    Jay Peak bombshell

    And despite all this bullshit the mountain continues to deliver the goods. A great day here, sorely needed by all, but not a particularly remarkable day at Jay. Ski on all day non-stop snow (20) and plenty of tracks to be laid. An ultra core (and small) group of people keep the on mountain...

    Waxing Iron Cord Management

    If you have any older fluoro based waxes in your kit, please don't use them. Look for waxes that are specifically fluorocarbon free. The fluorinated components are very dangerous to human health and when used indoors could expose you and others to high levels of perfluorinated compounds aka...

    Jay Peak - Tips? e.g. for driving up with Teens (food, places?)

    Dlague mentioned the Sheffield high point, I think it is mile marker 150 or so. You can expect high winds and white out conditions here regularly, be careful a 18 wheeler going 5 mph will appear out of nowhere fast. many accidents here even in clear weather by people doing left lanes passes when...

    Jay Peak - Tips? e.g. for driving up with Teens (food, places?)

    Some of the AZ regulars have provided good input so far. If you're coming up on a season rental I recommend the following for Jay: skip stops, pack dinner and eat on the way (it passes time and gets you to Jay and cocktails quicker) Car with snow tires and chain or cables a must (otherwise you...

    Jay Peak closed for season as of Saturday 4pm

    Respectfully, it doesn't appear that way with Vail and Alterra following Jay's lead today. While Michael Goldberg is the receiver, Steve W is making these calls. jay was fully booked out through March with Canadian holiday guests. Now they are offering full refunds or rescheduling into 2021...
