Skiing Jay Peak

385 inches of natural snow per year — more than any resort in the eastern US. The tree skiing in Jay's famous glades is the draw. And then there's the Pump House — an enormous indoor waterpark.

Terrain by Level

Beginners: Dedicated learning terrain at the base.

Intermediates: Bonnie chair and Flyer Quad have well-groomed runs. Jay's natural snow means better surface quality than snowmaking-dependent resorts.

Advanced: The aerial tram to the summit accesses Jay's most famous terrain — the glades. Tuckerman's, Beaver Pond Glades, and Valhalla are tight, steep tree skiing. Face Chutes are committing steep terrain. Find an instructor at Jay Peak →

Families: The Pump House waterpark (surf simulator, wave pool, slides) makes Jay a unique family destination. See our guide for parents →

Insider Tips

  • Most natural snow in the eastern US (385 inches). When a storm hits, drive north.
  • Montreal is 2 hours away. As much French as English on the mountain.
  • Jay is independently owned — not part of Epic or Ikon.
