toast21602 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 isn't it called Jay Peak? not "Jay's Peak"? sorry, that just bothers me for some reason. Quote
Dan- Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Haha, i was just thinking the same thing Quote
beachiegirl2ski Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 JAY PEAK. was a great trip! we stated on friday night at around 1230. it is a very long drive. we got there at about 9am. that is with only 2 pee breaks. we got booted up and hit the tram right away. it must of just stated running cause the line wasn't that long at all and we were able to get on the next tram that came. what an experience riding that. 60 of your closest friends. and they just keep packing people in. just when you think no one else can fit. you hear make room for 2 more. i'm like wtf. any way good idea to eat a breath mint before you get on there. at the peak there was fresh pow and it was snowing. we were able to touch the clouds and it was hard to see in front of you. down lower on the moutain you could be riding on groomers, death cookies, crud, or ice. it all depends on what trails you are on. conditions are very variable. but it is like winter conditions there. we left there after skiing a good 6 hours and checked in at our hotel. what a joke it turned out to be this little place. there was just enough room for a double bed, twin, TV, and chest of drawers. and that is with only a walk way between. and trying to find a pizza place is crazy there. everyone tells you to goto the gas station. we had to drive like a hour to find the nearest, non gas station pizza place. crazy no fast food places or pizza places near the moutain at all. we all crashed at like 7pm that night. the next we got first tracks on several trail. the tram didn't start running on sunday till like 11. a lot of the trails on sunday were groomed over. not many death cookies at all. there was still fresh snow un-groomed up at the top. there are houses on the side of one trail and sat. i saw a guy walking his dog up the trail. sunday my son was skiing on that trail and a lady was walking 2 dogs and they started chasing my son as he skied by. i would recommend going up there this week. we were actually thinking about heading up there to ski on wed and then maybe going to killington. but it looks like rain up there those 2 days. if anyone does goes stay at the hotel at the base of the mountain, cause there are no hotels around. and take lots of food with you.

beachiegirl2ski Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 Where did you guys stay? There is really nothing to do at Jay Peak post skiing. It's weird how in Vermont there's pizza at most of the gas stations...usually pretty crappy pizza. Sounds like a good trip...Did you go with Borgota Boss. I would never be able to drive to northern Vermont at 12:30AM...I'd fall asleep at the wheel..the beachie crew is hard to the core. It's cool that you also got to ski some fresh Poe.. How much longer is Jay Peak staying open? Was it 39 dollars for a two day ticket?? we stayed at the north troy motel. only 15 mins from the mountain. only $50 for the room for the 3 of us. yes borgata boss went, he was the driver. he worked friday night got off work at 8, got up at 12 and we started our drive at 1230. i fell asleep for about 100 miles of the trip. we all got to bed around 930, my son slept the ride up. Thank God! and yes the lift tickets were $38 for a 2 day ticket, my son was $32. i think post skiing at jay peak is going to look for food. crazy and yes the pizza was crappy. it looks like they can stay open for a while. like i said before we were going to head back up for skiing on wed but looks like rain. i put a statue of blessed mother in the window with a sign on here that says" no rain in Vt this week" maybe that will help. if your not staying at the moutain it is very difficult. but a room at the moutain would have been 150 for just the room. or $99 a personfor the room lift tickets, and food. but we wanted to go cheap to get another week of skiing in Quote
beachiegirl2ski Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 what happened to the file attachment .. now i don't know how to put up picks on here Quote
NJSkiFamily Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Ya gotta love northern VT and the lack of decent restaurants. I have yet to find a good pizza place. It isn't until you get near Stowe do you start finding the good restaurants. Quote
