I skied there today on 4FRNT EHP 190's. The skis were great for the skied out/ rained on snow. I just wish I had something a tad shorter for the trees.
A crud buster 90-105 cm waist would be my recommendation.

Don't trust the resort weather reports. Don't trust any resort weather reports for that matter. Complete hype! Wooo 5-10 Inchs over night = 5-10 cms...

It hardly ever snows at Jay anyhow it's usually rain and long liftlines.

while i do agree that a lot of weather reports are a good amount of hype, you could not be more wrong about jay, they get 400-500+ inches a year and there are way shorter lift lines there then places like stratton, mt snow, okemo etc. you barely ever wait in line at the jet. the tram on a weekend? obviously there's gunna be lines but that happens at every resort

I'm pretty sure there's no reason to bother skiing at Jay. Seriously.

Jay is sick. And if you're an east coast skier there is every reason to ski there. And they get the most snowfall in Vermont by far.
