Jay Peak Resort reports more snow than any other Eastern resort and has Vermont’s only aerial tram. This meteorological marvel can sometimes get close to 30 feet of powder, making it a skier and snowboarder’s favorite on the East Coast. Located a few miles from the Quebec border, and only four hours from Boston, this Vermont resort has over 50 miles of skiable terrain (385 acres on-piste, 100 plus acres off-piste), 2,153 feet of vertical, two peaks, and 76 trails, glades, and chutes. With its Northeast exposure, varied terrain, and long, scenic trails, Jay Peak leaves its skiers and riders feeling satisfied, happy, tired, and often, ready for a beer.
Jay Peak’s most scenic trail is Vermonter but if you are looking for more a challenge, head straight for River Quai and Green Beret. For beginners and those learning to ski glades, Moonwalk Woods is perfect. The most classic and thigh-burning cruiser on the hill is Can-Am Super Trail, 150 feet wide, 4,000 feet long and holding 1,800 feet of vertical in one run. On a powder day, jump on the Tram and ski straight to Andre’s Paradise and Beaver Pond Glade.
The resort has also always encouraged tree skiing, even before tree skiing became popular. Jay’s Woods Policy merely asks that you have advanced skills, ski with a partner and use common sense. So once you get tired of the chutes, bowls and powder that often host extreme skiing competitions, the powder stashes in the trees should definitely be next. Jay Peak also offers “The Zone”, 80 acres of mellow tree skiing, designated specifically for those first learning to ski the trees.
While there is not much nightlife around Jay Peak, there is a new base village with a new hotel on its way. In the meantime, the Hotel Jay, which offers tons of ski and stay packages, has prime location right at the base of the tram.

Ski Information from the Lift Ticket Experts at Liftopia 
DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THIS SITE!!!!!!
This site is a complete and total fraud!!!
I bought tickets for March 22 instead of Feb22 for my son and I – our first trip out west. Within minutes of the purchase, I called to change the date – as it was an honest mistake.
The person who answered said TOO BAD – I was out the money I had paid for lift tickets and rentals and he wouldn’t help me. He wouldn’t change the date, he wouldn’t refund my money, so now I have spent money on lifts and rentals that I can’t use! I am reporting this to the better business bureau – complete and total fraud!!!
These people are LIARS! Very dishonest and the lift tickets cannot be used.
