I'm thinking of going to Jay Peak sometime this weekend, and I was just wondering if anyone has some info on how skiing is there. I'm wondering if i should take my AR6 (center mount) or my Fujis (core center).

How's the park, I checked the site and the pictures are crap? Is there any pow( i'm probably gonna go early in the morning)?

Is everyone here joking?  I heard jay is the sickest mountain in Vermont if you don't want to ride park.  I've never been to Vermont but if Jay gets pow, I hear it's amazing.

jay is the sickest mtn in VT if you dont want to ride park. Best woods, most snow. Over 200" this year and still counting. Just had the most ridiculous pow day today. Everyone else on this threat must be joking or just be park rats.

Pf, he's obviously never been to Jay. It sucks there, they've had under 6 inches of snow this year. All mud.

Damn i wasn't expecting all these bad reviews of jay. I went on their websites and they just got 14 inches in the last 48 hours. And Jay is already far for me so going any further is just a hassle.

I went to jay peak last year and rode in waist deep pow in the woods all day. It's true they dont have much of a park but with miles of glades who wants to hit terrain features anyway. they got over 200 inches i dont know why the other guy said they have "one inch" of snow...

Jay peak is the shit, they get the most snow on the east!

yeah no park but so fucking what, yes this is NS'ers but im sick of people judging skiing on park and how good people are at tricks, there are other dimensions of skiing besides launching ur slef in the air or ruining your skiis on a metal rail

There is no park currently (besides 5 boxes/rails and a few small rolling tables) so if thats your thing there are probably better places

Jay is crap. Don't go. It's a waste of money. Tell your friends you heard on NS it's crap. Continue spreading this "fact" for years to come to everyone you come into contact with...

You guys are seriously so fucking corny. You should be open to more newschoolers like yourselves to come to jay. Theres plenty of snow to go around. I'm going up this week and its supposed to be 50 degrees and rainy but so what, I will still have the time of my life. P.S... to all of you fucking Canadians saying that I should stay out of jay, that it has no snow, or whatever other sarcastic fucking retarded comment you want to make... how bout you go to Tremblant and leave some of the Pow Pow to us Americans where the mountain is located in... thanks have a nice day.

You just don't get it either.

If you want thousands of twin-tip gapers clogging the lift lines at Jay, keep preaching.
