Jay Peak Riders FB group

So I've set up a facebook group for all the NS people that ride Jay, Jay is my home mtn, but I just bought a sweet 7 passenger van, and I want to take advantage of that for doing backcountry runs and carpooling to the mountain from montreal

So if you ride Jay, join the group so we can meet up, carpool and share our secret stashes

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17933779833&ref=ts

It's also so we can network to find accommodations (ie: Grampa Grunts) and have huge parties there

btw, if you dont ride jay, it's 249$ for a student pass...just saying

ps: jay peak is the shittiest mtn in the world, it rains everyday and they get no snow

yeah i'll go touring with anyone who wants, also for those of you who don't know jay, dave was right, it's about 500' vertical, flat, and very rarely has snow let alone pow, not worth going there...

i dont go to jay that often but ill be willing to pitch in for carpooling if there are going to be some epic parties. oh and you could consider smuggs too. their pass is a little more expensive and their park is balls but there's some pretty sweet terrain. plus its the same distance from montreal as jay

whats the difference between a seven passenger van and a mini van? i thought they were one in the same. Dave call it a mini-van. its so much more baller. All the DH mountain bikers i know rep it up for their mini's. Besides soccer moms have moved on to SUV's.

Don't know where everyone's coming from, but I've got a place @ Jay if anyone needs a couch. I'll be up 3-4 days/week and am willing to carpool from btown. Anyone who tours and wants to do some midnight runs, lemme know.

its true smuggs sucks, never go there.  it rains all the time and the notch is really just a myth, it doesnt actually exist.

Lets be honest, Jay gets maybe 325 a year. I mean to jay a foot is 10" I am pretty sure. Sometimes I think they simply cant just report the same or less than other mountains so they just look at what stowe reports and say they got 3" more. They do get the most snow though either way

he's right, we get no snow, its more like 400 inches of rain, it's always cold and windy...the chairs even have signs that say they run in reverse because of the ridiculous wind, plus there is no park, just a few mounds of ice here and there, and lift tickets are like 200$ a day if you're not part of this special club, thousands actually die from frostbite each season, they say that the winds and temperatures surpass even those of mt washington

yea, in reality, they exaggerate the snow totals, the chairlifts close down and brealk down due to wind a lot, its far away, no nightlife, very cold. i prefer stowe and smuggs.
