Area skied: Jay Peak Resort
Date skied: March 18, 2006 from 9:00am - 1:30pm
Surface conditions: Packed powder, powder, icy spots
My son and I arrived at the tram area lodge at 8:30am after a 1 hour drive from our hotel in Waterbury. The parking lot was still fairly empty at that time, but it was filling up fast. The "Jay Cloud" was hard at work as it was constantly snowing lightly for the whole day.
The tram already had a long wait at 9:00 am, so our first run was off the Flyer and down Ullrs Dream. The trail was nicely groomed with packed powder and just a few scratchy spots.
We took the Flyer up again and skied down Northway which had fantastic packed powder, but alot of traffic. We waited in about a 10 minute line for the Bonaventure Quad and skied Notrhway again down to Angels Wiggle and to the Bonaventure Glade, which was Warrens first black diamond glade, and he skied it with ease.
We took the Queens Highway T-Bar back to the tram side and skied off the Metro Quad into Bushwacker Glades which Warren like so much that we skied it three times.
I left Warren to ski alone on the Metro Quad while I skied Sraircase Glade and Everglade. Staircase beat me up pretty bad with its tight lines and I took more than one fall, but still had fun.
Warren and I took one last run down Ullrs Dream, which by 1:00pm had some nasty boilerplate due to the high winds, and into Beaver-Pond glade, which had some nice powder moguls that Warren handled with great confidence.
The weather featured a constant light snow and a temperature of 15F at 9:00am and 14F at 2:00pm.
I never got to take Warren on the tram as the line was really long, and this was the most crowded day that I have ever seen at Jay, but we both had a great time.
