hook up with a local, ski with someone who knows where to go. Not a good place for people with no idea where they are going or the hazards that exist.

And we wont have 80 inches in december...would be sweet though

Ok so 80 inches in December would be sick... but over 100 INCHES by December 5th?!?! Shit... I came out to fucking Utah to ski this year and shit, its dry here. Vermont is being dumped on right now and I'm stuck in Utah... It had better pick up out here.

to get to big jay: look for a freshly hacked scar down the side of a mountain, walk towards that.

So because of that guy, there is rumor that the AMC is pissed and thinking about trying to close off Big Jay to skiing.  I don't know any details, but I will try to find out more.

^not possible. yeah cutting the trail was a seriously dumbass move, but AMC doesn't have anywhere near the authority they think they do.

im pretty sure they're facing a hefty fine. and no it wouldn't be good if they got away with it. it was wrong, there are plenty of natural chutes and with AMC on the prowl now there will be no brushing over the summers so in a few years the trail will be a bramble choked mess.

It is the GMC that is pissed right now- they are (supposedly) going to put up a big snowfence at the access gate.  It will be "illegal" to ski as in the ski patrol can take your pass if they catch you goin gin on the resort side of the fence.  I'm betting that there will be some drama out there between people that do and do not want the gash to be there.  The only "politically ok" route up will be to skin up from the parking lot.
I think that the GMC is taking this way to far.  Deforestation happens on a daily basis- every time you wipe your ass you kill a tree. Whats done is done and nothing is going to bring it back.  Also the state forest is land designated for conservation AND RECREATION.  There should be no problem with how people get to the mountain- and there sure isnt much differance between using a chainsaw and loppers for cutting a trail.
Sure, what these guys did probably wasn't the best idea but I thank and congragulate them and hope thy dont get to bad of a fine/imprisonment.

Thank you guys!!

I would really hope that no one would post how to get to big jay on here. Its not that hard to find but you have to know what ur doing first of all. Second of all what makes big jay good is that not many people ski it.

The OWNER bill stenger???
Are you sure you work at Jay??

Screw apologizing, Bill should thank them for bringing tourism into the area- think how many people will want to see it.  hopefull they all get stuck long before the mountain with their winter tires on- haha

But hopefully no one will go out there- out of staters i mean- there could be ncreasing accident/rescue situations
