To answer the question about Jay Peak vs. Smugglers Notch, Jay Peak has the best tree/powder skiing in the east no question, (the exception maybe hiking up Mt. Mansfield above Stowe, or Skiing Tuckerman's Ravine), but anyways its the best inbounds challenging terrain there is out here, with the most amount of light snow, almost 400 inches a year. Anyways, the park at Jay is not
big by any standard. They have some decent jumps, not much over 20ft though last time i saw, but they had an S-rail, Rollercoaster, Rainbow, Flat-down-flat, and a few Flat rails, along with two flat boxes. Smugglers Notch on the other hand does have two parks, with a pipe, which Jay doesn't. Out of the two go to Jay Peak for skiing, and Smuggs for Park. Besides the high priced lift ticket, Stowe usually has a better park set-up than both of them.
