Where the snow piles up deeper than anywhere else in the East
Jay Peak reports about 350 inches of snow a season, the most of any ski area in the Northeast, and the mountain is built to hold it.
It's visitors enjoy 385 acres and nearly 80 trails, with 2,153 feet of vertical. Nine lifts serve the mountain, including Vermont’s only aerial tramway, built by Von Roll in 1966 and fitted with new 60-passenger cabins in 2000. A large share of the terrain is rated advanced or expert, and there are more than 100 acres of glades. Pacific Group Resorts has owned Jay since 2022, and the mountain is on the Indy Pass: two days a season, with no blackout dates on Indy+.
Jay sits about four miles from the Quebec border in the Northeast Kingdom, roughly two hours from Montreal and about 90 minutes from Burlington’s airport. The village is small, home to the Jay Country Store and the Jay Village Inn. The Pump House, Vermont’s first indoor waterpark, covers 60,000 square feet with four waterslides, an activity river, an indoor activity pool, and hot tubs.
