just thought i would post this for fun:

calling for 2-3 feet of pow


Looks like we've got a big one heading our way.  Forecasts are calling for a big snow even late Sunday and then we'll get pounded with backlash snows Monday and Tuesday.  Stay tuned for more details.

jay peak fucking dominates every mountain on the east coast. it gets far more snow than anywhere else around here. it rarely gets crowded and yes, it is often cold and windy, but it has the best glade skiing anywhere. killington and the rest of southern vermont are really fun if you like skiing with massive crowds of douchebags from out of state who care more about the way they dress than actual terrain.

Jay Peak is not real, Its just a figment of your imagination.  there's nothing that far north but trees and drunk drivers,  you guys really shouldn't even bother making the drive...just stick to the "resorts" in central VT.

If you always ski St-Sauveur or Tremblant, or the laurentians, anyway (quebec) you're always down for a trip to Jay... can't lie about that.

i just got a pass to jay this year, and so far it's been sick.  The whole mountain isn't open yet, but it's still been plenty of pow and not many people to shred it up.  I'm going tomorrow and i have no doubts that it will be awesome.

dude, what are you talking about, Jay is always crowded and never gets any snow.  We all wish it is like your description, but it never will be. End of story.  Stop bumping this thread and go to this link right now:http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G/gayometer/gayometer.html
