So my friends and I have a trip planned to jay peak this weekend and I was wondering if they had a terrain park? and if so how is it looking?

Ski the trees. That's the Jay Way. Park is weak sauce.

When I was there a couple weeks ago the parks were quite basic and limited.

That said, you are at Jay. There is no need to be in the park at Jay no matter what. Plenty of stuff around the mountain to jump off.

Last time I was at Jay was two years ago, but the terrain park wasn't much - but if you're at Jay, why would you want to ski park? Ski trees, much more fun. If you want a good park, I would suggest a different mountain.

ski the trees dude. way more entertaining than any park they could have. that being said, they had some high risk rails when i was there 2 years ago and some very good skiers.

There are currently 3 parks (of different sizes) at Jay Peak. They are worth it to take a quick run through on the way down.
Although yes, everyone is right in saying that don't go to jay peak for the park, I always find myself cutting through the 360 park on the way down to Tram side, because it is right by the lift and you can hit it after a good chute run or a tree run.

If you are looking to take park laps for a day, don't go to jay because the park is super minimal. If you are looking for some of the SICKEST tree skiing on the east, then jay is ur way

The whole mountain is a park when you view it correctly...

Jay really isn't a park destination. Last year they had limited features, but it seemed like everything was well built, the jumps were fun. That being said Jay has so much more to offer that you will most likely not be spending much time in the park.

Ski the trees probably the best in the East.

Such a fun mini-park at the main base though!
