After Whistler Comes Jay Peak
As Josh and I have mentioned, we’re headed to Jay Peak later this month. What a great month: first, I head to Whistler with Steve. The week after I return, I head to Jay with Josh. Sandwiched in between: my birthday! I am really looking forward to this month.
We have written about Jay Peak several times, and I’d like to get a Jay Peak guide started after this next visit.
Maybe the biggest knock (or selling point, depending on how you look at it) on Jay is the lack of any sort of facilities or apres scene. Once the sun goes down, there’s little to do other than hang out at the one dingy bar at the base of the mountain, which closes early. However, it sounds like some recent improvements may make things a bit more interesting once the lifts stop.
According to this article, phase one of the new Tram Haus Lodge is open at Jay. Phase one includes a new hotel, spa, cafe, restaurant and bar. It also means a bunch of new jobs. Good stuff.
We’ll report on the trip later in the month. In the meantime, please enjoy this sweet Jay Peak action shot. Josh to the far left, me with the sweet yellow goggles next to him.

I’m STILL trying to get rid of those blue Smith goggles. Want to make the world look sad? Try blue tinted lenses!
