Located up north just 6 miles from the Canadian border, Jay Peak is a classic Vermont style ski resort, with a rustic feel of the great north woods. That being said, Jay Peak is also home to the some of the sickest tree skiing in the land. The boundary-to-boundary woods policy means you wont get your pass pulled for going into out of bounds. All they ask in return is you don’t get lost. This rule makes it a favorite among advanced skiers and riders, but the glades aren't for experts only. The mountain also has the most beginner and intermediate tree skiing in the East.

 But what good are great glades without great snow? Good thing Jay Peak has an average annual snowfall of 366 in for you to play in. The mountains unique semi circle position have been know to let snow storms in and keep them around for a few days before blowing off, meaning tons of deep powder days. Many folks up here pray to Ullr the Snow God, to bring forth good snow for the season, I guess that doesn’t hurt either.
 If you feel like taking a break from the lift lines and doing some deep woods backcountry skiing, you can find it at Big Jay, just across from the resort. You don’t have to worry about tracked out lines here, were there is always a fresh run, in bounds or out.

Jay Peak has 4 distinct freestyle riding zones built on the idea of progressive accessibility. Two of the parks (the Rail Garden and Grom Park) are located in the Beginner Zone, where new riders can get the basics down before moving on to 2 more advanced freestyle zones (the Progression Park and The Park).
Jay peak isn’t a mountain turned into a giant ski resort; it’s a mountain that happens to have a few lifts leading up the face. If you love to ski then Jay Peak should be your next destination. If you would rather talk about how much you like to ski, go somewhere else.
