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.

We went as a family to do some ski tourning up the mountain. The tracks are beside the slopes so it is not as interesting as going uphill in the forest. Proximity to the skiers going down and the risk of collision when crossing a slope is always there.

Jay is the first mountain I had ever been to. They had ambassadors that went out of their way to make me feel welcome and included. That was 30 years ago and to this day as I walk from the parking lot to the lodge there is a staff member standing outside, smiling and saying hello. That touches my heart.

We really enjoyed Jay Peak! Fresh snow made the tree runs awesome. The right hand side boundary line was a bit tricky to see on the Timbuktu glade run. It was way above our heads and would have been very easy to miss, causing you to miss the run and have to walk along the road. To get back to resort. Gondola line was never less than 30 mins when we were at the base so we opted for highest lift. Other than that, the resort was awesome. It was a great day!

Jay Peak is our familys favorite mountain, between wonderfully groomed blues and awesome black glades. Jay has the best snow on the east coast.

A fun hill with lots of terrain for the whole family. It has a water park for off days and options to buy a touring only pass if you want to hike up the mountain with the family is playing. The glades are fun.

Jay Peak is a massive mountain with an abundance of trails; there is something for every rider to enjoy. The village is very pleasant, the cottages are a great choice for accommodation with a shuttle that runs consistently, and of course, the waterpark makes for a great family destination. The staff have always been kind and helpful. The lift time is a little long, but otherwise love going to Jay.

I have only been to Jay Peak twice: once when I was younger and somewhat unexperienced, and once this December and both were amazing ski trips. The whole resort really gives you a great experience with the water park and great bars / restaurants available when youre done skiing. I truly believe they have some of the best tree skiing on the East coast, and they get some great snow conditions. Im a huge fan.

A skiers resort without the fluff. The most snow east of the rockies and some of the best tree skiing anywhere means there's always powder stashes to find. Remarkably affordable, take CAD at par, and none of that slimy corporate feel that pervades so many other resorts.

Jay Peak has some of the best terrain in the East, with tree skiing that's unrivaled. The resort has a mix of trails for beginners to advanced skiers, including narrow mogul runs, glades, and groomers. Some say the resort is best for experts, and that some runs are as difficult as double-black rated runs at other resorts. Jay Peak has the best snow on the East Coast. It is the only place in the Northeast where you can usually find powder stashes in February and March. In addition to skiing, Jay Peak has a water park, ice arena, golf course, arcade, climbing walls, and movie theater.

I stayed at this resort for five days, it was a great experience and was the best skiing I have ever had. the tree runs were out of this world and most of the runs were empty. As well as having great places to stay and great food. would recommend

Ive snowboarded at Jay Peak my whole life and if youre thinking about going, definitely do. The groomed runs are great with plenty of intermediate terrain and beginner terrain. The glades are like no other, and on the snow days, theres feet upon feet of snow through the woods. I love jay so much, yet the food and shops can be a bit pricey. I bought my season pass for this season and Im 18, Ive been going up to jay since I was in third grade and I would recommend it to everyone. Its really a mountain for everyone and there plenty of terrain to explore along with two parks and a free style run that goes below the metro lift. Its a great place and Id rate it a 10/10
