What is so specialabout Jay Peak skiing? An answer is simple – Glades and backcountry. Jay peak ski resort allows skiers and snowboarders to venture anywhere on its vast territory. They have what can be described as most liberal ski policies in the East, and it sure attracts folks looking for hidden stashes of powder. If you an an advanced skier or snowboarder, choices are unlimited; however, skiing at Jay Peak is not only for advanced types, there is plenty of the beginner and intermediate terrain including glades! So if you visit Jay Peak resort, make sure to explore Bushwacker and Moon Walk Woods: these are the best intermediate glades for those looking to graduate and see what Jay Peak skiing is all about – freedom to roam and explore its territory in a never ending pursuit of powder.
Major facilities upgrades might be on their way at Jay Peak; however, a lift ticket pricing system has not changed – it remained simple for the 2009-2010 ski season. I realized it when I opened my excel spreadsheet and prepared myself for a lengthy fine print reading process. Nope, that was not the case with Jay Peak resort. I did not need a spreadsheet to layout peaks and troughs of a ski season calendar.
If you are an adult (19+), all you have to do is to grab you skis, jump in a car, drive to Jay Peak and buy an adult ticket for $67.00. As far as I understand – and you can always check on their site – there are no holiday, Sunday or Midweek rates – just one price valid seven days a week.
Too expensive? Get yourself a passport card for $25.00. You will pay $49.00 for you first five visits and your sixth day will be free. Of course, you could just pay for a 5-Day lift ticket and end up with the $49.00 per day deal (245/5=49). However, if we factor in a free day that comes with your sixth visit, the total cost comes down to $45.00. Plus, it seems – though double check with Jay Peak – that you can use the passport card whenever you want and not just on consecutive days. In other words move up and ski. There aren’t any excuses not to….
