i think there needs to be an all out boycott of jay peak and big jay! lets all just ski somewhere else to make a point.
your actions will speak for your statements.

And then VTpowder will have it all to himself.

I've been sitting on the fence for a while now, it's time to jump to one side.

I don't condone what these guys did and think the book should be thrown at them. That should keep future persons from doing the same.

With regards to skiing this line, if the state or another organization feels it is important to regrow the area then i'm sure they will put up the yellow tape with "revegetation area", i will respect that and leave it alone. If not, its fair game.

I agree, boycott it all together. Besides with my bad comments who would want to ski with people like me. Stay down south at great resorts such as Killington and Magic.

We should start a movement to boycott all skiing in teh entire NE to protest what those two knuckleheads did.
Then, AZ members can go on "Inspection Tours" to make sure the civilians are complying.

I can't wait to ski that this winter..

I figure that those guys widened that out because they were unable to ski the tight trees. They probably figured if it was wider they could snowplow down.lol! It's not their land and they had no right whatsoever to take down any tree, living or dead. At Sugarloaf we've done lots of "pruning" over the years esp. us tall guys, but never something this stupid (Now I'm sure someone will correct me).

It's always a hoot to see the golf/ski fights.

Me and my friends are excited about this trail. For the past few years we always took a week long trip to Jay and we loved some of there awesome glades like Beaver Pond and Timbuktu. We look over at Big Jay every trip up that tram and think how cool it would be to ski over there. We just werent sure if we were good enough skiers to do it. Now I know it will be easy to get over there since they made a wide trail going down the ridge and i can always bail on to the wide trail these guys cut if the glade skiing gets to hard. We think they did a awesome job!


Yay first post!

If you didn't think you were good enough before, you're STILL not good enough. The terrain on big Jay is still going to be several steps above Beaver Pond and Timbuktu.
The cut isn't a big wide groomer trail that is going to allow gappers to "bail out" if they are having a hard time. It is still STEEP and narrow and will very likely become a luge run from too much skier traffic, making it more dangerous than skiing the regular tree lines. PLEASE stick to the inbounds stuff. Ski patrol will charge to bail you out when you get in over your head/get lost out of bounds.

Hopefully this guy's just phishing

Pennskier is just trying to get everybody riled up. Chill out guys.

After I read the post again I figured out that I'm not awake yet this morning and realized that what ski bum pointed out is probably true.

Same here, I had typed up a response earlier, but more and more after I read it, I got thinking I would wait for others to say something.

it shoud be interesting to see how many people end up needing help out there - it was bad enough to cross people out in the woods who had know idea where they were before, imagine in the basin - can already here the stories at the bar,"I was so pissed jay doesn't run a shuttle from bridge 7, we had to walk all the back" -

Of course that is assuming they know what/where bridge 7 is....

The last few posts deal with an issue I never understood...people who go OB with no idea where or what they are doing. Forget about Pennskier's troll post because there are skiers who do exactly that. I don't get that at all. Do people like to get hurt or spend the night lost on a mountain? Please explain this to me.

If you want to check something out you don't know, talk to people on lift rides and try to make friends with locals. Works for me, especially at places like Jay or MRG. Always managed to make friends and most skiers like company as long as you have the skills. So don't be mad or insulted if the local you meet wants to take a run or two with you to see if you're up to snuff. It's for your own good.

Yeah, yeah go ahead with the old fart jokes.

So do you sit on the guy's lap or just yell to him from your chair?

You're a knucklehead.

I'm in my own world on the single...love it.

But that lift line can be long sometimes and it's a great place to throw the BS around and make friends. MRG is especially friendly I've found...I've met skiers on trails who disappear into woods I don't know who I see on line at the bottom. So I strike up a conversation and mention I'd like to check out those woods I saw them jump into but don't know my way around in there. I've never been turned down there and I usually wind up with a skiing buddy for the rest of the day who shows me other lines I didn't know about.

I love MRG.
