After skiing over the years at several other ski areas in Vermont, we discovered Jay Peak and fell in love with the local Vermont atmosphere, the terrain at the mountain and the huge amounts of snow that Jay Peak always seems to get. There are glades all over the mountain -- from incredibly steep and deep areas that the locals know about and we are still discovering, to the beautiful, more mellow tree trails that our kids love to ski. Jay Peak really is a special place. There are so many additional fun things to do at the mountain now, with the addition of amenities like the Pumphouse Water Park, Ice Haus indoor skating rink, Taiga Spa, Championship Golf and Nordic Ski Center, movie theater, arcades, and an indoor clip-in ropes and climbing course. Also many exceptional restaurants! Jay Peak has everything for a truly special vacation.
