Call me skeptical. I talked to a guy last week up at Snowbird who said, "hey, did you hear about the 100 inch base at Jay Peak?" I laughed.Vermont’s Jay Peak Smashes 25-Year-Old Record Hitting 113 Inches of Snowfall Already this Season
Jay Peak, Vermont, is having one of its best starts to a ski season in over 25 years. We woke up to 8 to 10 inches in the past 24 hours, bringing this end-of-November storm to 14 inches in 48 hours and putting our season total at 113 inches. That sets a new record for November at Jay and caps off a stretch of weather that lined up with perfect timing. Snow began Thanksgiving evening, paused just long enough for folks to scarf down some turkey, then ramped right back up for Day of the Devoted and stayed steady through last night.![]()

Jay Peak’s weatherman, Tim Kelley, projected an additional four to five inches on Thanksgiving, which would have pushed Jay Peak over the 100-inch mark for the season. Jay Peak received four inches of snow on Thanksgiving evening. Currently, Jay Peak’s base depth is between 16 and 36 inches, and it has 23 trails, a terrain park, and four lifts operating.
A low-pressure system is forecast to move in this weekend, bringing some Arctic air. These snow cycles are expected to continue through the first week of December.

Last season, the resort recorded 475 inches of snow, its highest total since the 2016-17 season, when it recorded 491 inches. Will Jay Peak have another great year? If November is any indication of what is yet to come, then the answer is a definite yes.

Exactly they measure a snow drift next to the building, if it's a foot they say there must be 2 ft at the Summit. They definitely get more snow than anywhere else on the east coast but there numbers are questionableThere's a reason why Jay Peak doesn't have a snow stake webcam like everyone else.
