Jay Peak prides itself on getting much more natural snow each season than its neighbors. Its 20-year average for natural snowfall is 351 inches compared to 254 inches for Killington. Another claim to fame is the areas gladded trails. Some of the most interesting glades are Staircase, Valhalla (the steepest on the mountain), the natural half pipe in Canyon land and, the most challenging on the mountain, the Jay Peak Face Chutes.
Regardless of your terrain of choice, the 360 degree views from the summit are staggering. Twenty percent of the mountain is designed for beginners and 40% for intermediates while, in addition to the glades; experts enjoy Jays State Side area with half a dozen steep trails. Jay has approximately 850 - 900 beds, which include the Hotel Jay, 2 Bedroom slopeside condos, and 4 Bedroom slopeside townhouses. The resort is 64 miles from Burlington and 70 miles from Montreal.

If you like glitzy hotels and lots of apres ski, stay away. But it you like tons of snow and the gnarliest terrain on the east coast, go to jay. I'm not sure if I can say I "own" it since the face chutes have owned me more than once. best mountain in the east

This place has it all. Steeps, great glades, groomers, beginner's fun, etc. It can get pretty bare and windy so keep that in mind if the weather is nasty and it hasn't snowed in a while. The lodge and food are terrible so pack some food. Virtually deserted mid-week.
