Everyone knows you can take the D bus down to 3rd street, and meet the Latin American man named Martinez, and we all know Martinez's shit is the bomb. We all know that!

From what I've heard, Jay sounds like it gets a pretty good amount of snow. My resort out in CA got 11 feet of snow in five days. /claim.

East Coast powder days are all about storm watching and driving to the storms that do occur.

The likelihood of a storm day occurring at Jay are greater simply as they do get more snow annually than any other major ski area in the east. But you can't plan a trip in advance and expect powder, unless you are fortunate enough to have a storm roll through when you are there. EC pow gets tracked pretty quickly.

Mount Sutton gets a lot of snow but also gets a lot of rain, but they do have some good tree skiing. Tremblant, Le Massif and the chic chocs if your into hiking for it.
