The official Jay Peak Trip Report thread

[ColoradoHigh]

Alright, I finished packing in just 10 minutes. I leave for Jay Peak on Tuesday at 3 in the afternoon. It will be a longgggg 8-9 hour drive. I will probably be at the Peak at about mid-night to 1 o' clock. I don't believe the place I am staying has internet. but if it does, I will try to post a report daily with pictures and all!

 

Did anyone here any word on the trails they MIGHT be opening for Tuesday?

I am thinking snow for you. Can't wait for the reports.

THEY HAVE INTERNET!!!! We have confirmed internet connection. So I will take pictures, and put it into a new thread for the executive trip report.

 

 

Well on the drive, we encountered LOTS of traffic in the New York City area, but we got out of it. A few hours later, we were in Vermont! It snowed a hella lot on the drive in Vermont. A good 2-3 inches fell in Jay Peak, and more is on the way, with a high of just about 28 degrees, it should be a fun time on 10 trails.

 

10 trails is better then NOTHING :rock

Glad to see you finally figured this out

Here it is folks, the first TR of my trip.

 

 

I don't have any pictures right now because I forgot the camera in the lodge. There wasn't anything "nice" to take a picture of so nothing to miss out of.

 

 

So the first run did, I went on the Flyer Quad and did a fairly good long Blue trail. Then I took a shuttle van to the Jet. The jet was pretty nice. I had troubles getting down the first five times because it was huge piles of loose granular snow, and I couldn't get my turning legs on . But after five times I got the hang of it, and was flying down it. I skied it a good 10-15 times and then I went to eat lunch. I decided that I was REALLY tired, so I just skied an easy green and lapped it like 20 or so times. One time I made 84 turns In total I made about 30 runs. I skied from 9-4. A VERY nice, FUN first day at the Peak.

Sounds nice....I agree to that notion that granular snow kills your leg muscles

[ColoradoHigh]

It was tough. Tommorow Morning, I will go to the Jet first thing so I can beat the scraped off snow

times 2...mad sweet and low sugar snow is tough to conquer..

 

Times 3. Sweet and low blows the G word. I'm so jealous. Have a good time and don't push too hard and hurt yourself. You have the rest of the season still. Can't wait for the pics.
