Yo, snow chasers! Jake here.
If you’ve been sleeping on the East Coast this season, it’s time to wake up. Jay Peak is absolutely firing right now.
We aren't talking about a couple of inches of dust on crust here. The resort just announced they’ve smashed past a major snowfall benchmark, and the vibe up in Northern Vermont is electric. They are literally "swimming in powder" right now. This is the kind of deep that makes your legs burn and your soul sing.
Why The Hype is Real
Look, I’ve hunted powder all over the globe, and the "Jay Cloud" is a legitimate phenomenon. While the rest of New England might be scraping ice, Jay has this sick microclimate that just pulls moisture out of the air and dumps it as white gold. It's gnarly in the best way possible.
This recent dump is huge for the base depth. It means the glades—which Jay Peak is famous for—are filling in perfectly. With a solid ShredIndex score of 67.4, this mountain is an absolute beast when the snow is deep, offering some of the best tree skiing you can find without hopping on a plane to the Rockies.
The Outlook: Full Send
It gets better. The weather gods aren't done yet. We are looking at more flakes dropping this week and flurries continuing right through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend. That means fresh refills for the holiday crowd.
If you're thinking of sending it, stop thinking and start packing. Conditions like this are what we live for. You might want to book your stay ASAP though, because with snow this good, everyone is going to be heading north.
See you in the white room!
