Highwaystar goes to Jay Peak

[Mpdsnowman]

There is a nice rock off Green Beret you can get some pretty good air. They had an extreme comp a few weeks ago and used it....

The steepest part at Jay is the face chute...

If you go to "big Jay" thats a different story...

Mannnn that looks like fun! Didn't hit any powder like that this season except 1 day at Breckenridge.

Awww it was a tough year across the board for most places in the US. Snow was down all over really. I put on a trip every year here and this year I was concerned because two weeks prior I had locals telling me im in trouble:roll: There was no way we were going to hike and ride big jay at that time yet alone get in some of the standard glades..

But it always gets snow the timeframe we are there and it ended up we had the best snow (so far, it may not be over) they had up to that point....

Big Jay

Heres a nice place we call dogpatch...It was pretty loaded..

Rock on Green Beret

Is he going off switch or in the midst of a heli?

i'd say heli based on the which seems to be spraying off to a side.

When would that be, pray tell....

End of February, first week in March , Mardi, gras is usually then...They get pounded every year around then it seems...Held true to this year for sure....

Jay has a very unique setup with the "jay cloud", Weather patterns usually help it along around then....basically meaning if they forecast rain it usually snows there...

The above three shots are the past three years exact same timeframe..

I got a great deal on that exact pair of Atlas snowshoes this year, $50 brand new with tags (I think they're like $225 usually), didnt get to use them once this crappy season. :???:

We were talking about Jay at the Summit. Someone was saying "You just wake up to 8" you didn't expect". I had to throw a That's What She Said into that.

I was there. Heli, on tele.

Same situation, different angle:
