More powder this season than Utah, that says it all! Lots of great glades. Never too crowded. A fun and friendly vibe. Only downer is the long drive to get there.

We had a fantastic time over Christmas break at Jay. Staff were great, our accommodations were great and the facilities were awesome. Very long lines (we heard record breaking) on our 2nd day. Wind had the tram to the upper mountain closed, but all in all a great trip

Great overall experience at Jay with the squad. Unfortunately, wind closed majority of the lifts but still greatly enjoyed the glades and tree runs which were grander than most in the area. I would like the try some more of the challenging runs.
