Jay Peak Ski Resort
In 2008, Jay Peak was rated as the no.1 ski resort in Eastern America. In 2010, Jay Peak was awarded Best Snow-East and Best Terrain/Variety-East in a reader survey by the prestigous Ski Magazine.
Jay Peak has been established for over 50 years as one of the top ski resorts in Eastern North America:
- With 375 inches of average annual snowfall, Jay Peak offers the heaviest natural snowfall of any ski resort in the East, thus providing an especially long ski season.
- With a mountain height of almost 4,000 feet, the resort offers a vertical drop of 2,150 feet, one of the largest in Eastern North America.
- Jay Peak has 75 trails, glades and chutes covering 450 acres, divided approximately 50% for intermediate skiers (appealing to the majority of skiers), 25% for expert skiers and 25% for beginners. The trail and lift system allows for a substantial increase in skier visits and permits a comfortable level of utilization, with lower than average lift lines.
- Jay Peak anticipates in excess of 350,000 skier visits each season.
Jay Peak has invested millions of dollars in lifts and snowmaking equipment, including the Green Mountain Flyer, Eastern North America's longest high-speed quadruple chairlift. This expansion has spurred attendance upward by over 20%. Jay Peak also recently added two novice lifts making Jay Peak one of the best resorts for learning. The snowmaking system covers approximately 85% of the skiing terrain, and is supported by a 15 million gallon water reservoir. Over 100 million gallons of water is converted to snow each winter.
As capacity grows there will be needs and opportunities for other services, both business and recreational. The following components will be part of the Jay Peak Hotel Phase II:
- 120 Unit Condominium Hotel
- Conference Facilities
