Family wants to make a vacation to one of the two mountains. We want to go back to Jay but we possibly want a mountain that has tough terrain, good snow AND good intermidiate stuff. By challenging we also want some glades. The real question is do you think Sugarbush will have reliable snow conditions for adavanced terrain? We know Jay will have reliable snow but snow is the only thing holding us back from booking sugarbush. What do u think?

if you need good intermediate terrain that includes good cruising, bush hands down. jay is not a good mountain for families, especially families with folks that enjoy intermediate cruising. bush is jam packed full of great intermediate cruising and has good glades and advanced terrain as well. bush isn't any slouch in the snowfall department. it obviously doesn't get the snow fall that jay does, but their expert terrain is pretty reliable for coverage and snow fall.

Sugarbush is awesome, particularly when the lift between North and South is open. Tons of everything, from cruisers to bumps.

Jay can be very windy and cold. Strongest point it the tree skiing (so I've been told.) I've always been a bit disappointed by Jay, but it is a big mountain.
