Winter is the primary recreation season in the Jay Peak area and Skiing, both downhill and cross country, is the premier activity.

The Jay Peak Ski house is located one mile from Jay Peak Ski Resort, and 13 miles from Hazen's Notch Cross Country Ski Center.

Jay Peak (vertical of 2,153 feet) boasts the highest average natural snowfall in the East. In fact, with an average snowfall of over 318 inches
averaging 156 ski days), it beats out many Western resorts as well! Trail difficulty ratings are 20% novice, 40% intermediate and 40% advanced. The big news for next year at Jay Peak will be a new High-Speed Quad lift. Jay Peak has some 62 trails, glades and chutes to ski on, including 285 trail acres and 100+ acres of glades. To get you up on those trails, it has Vermont's only Aerial Tramway (60 passenger) plus a Quad Chair, 2 Double Chairs, 1 Triple Chair and 2 T-Bars. The glade skiing at Jay is unbeatable. All trails are open to snowboarders, and the new half-pipe has made the resort even more popular with the snowboard crowd.

We hope you will plan a visit to The Jay Peak Ski House this winter. With so many activities to participate in (skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and ice skating all at our door step), there’s plenty for you to do on your next winter vacation. And remember, Jay Peak is known as the snow capital of the East, so come prepared to really enjoy yourself.
