Jay Peak 2/21/2016

[Loaf Nut]

Date(s) Skied: 2/21/2016

Resort or Ski Area: Jay Peak

Conditions: Grass

Trip Report: As the cashier at the North Troy General Store said, "Grass is out, why are you skiing?"

Right... Look at all this grass Jay was trying to make us ski over!




Seriously, though. I thought it may never happen this winter, but today was a true powder day at Jay Peak. Yes, it was far closer to cement than champagne powder, but the 16" they're reporting is legit. We skied nearly every glade on the map (save for a few under the Flyer), and the coverage was great. A few rocks and roots to dodge, but certainly doable without rock skis. Great day. Score one for 2016, finally.

Good irony there.

Bodes well for them stretching out the season a bit. I usually end my year with a Jay Day.

I would have pegged you for a late season K skier, Tuna. Hoping to see you Memorial Day weekend on SS. We can give Sammy some pointers!

You would think someone working in Troy would know what's going on right up the street from them. :roll:

Oh I do that too. But I usually hang 'em up some time in April. I could see myself doing a later K day this year though.. need to get some value out of my Express Pass after all.
