Last day of the season at Jay Peak

Loyal followers of this blog (I know you are out there) will have noticed a dearth of posts this winter. Long story short, life matters prevented some of us from visiting Jay Peak as often as we'd like, and your humble editor never made it there at all. Harrumph.

Fortunately, our stalwart reporter Jonny Jay did make the trek down the last weekend and sends this report and some excellent images:

Warning this might depress you -- or perhaps it will make you feel mellow for a minute! Saturday was dense fog but a very fun surface with a few inches of corn snow on top of the ice sheet. Sunday the sun came up and I was there skis on the mountain before 9:00! Got a little heavy by 10:30 or else my legs were weak . . . People arriving at 11:00 with parking full. Other than the pictured toughies, the Goat and Northway were superb. No one on the Goat because that side of mountain was closed -- lovely cruising.


Wait a minute, they never said anything about this in the Snow Report...


We're thinking the Can Am is done.

Summit ridge, hmmm.

A rare and collectable selfie of JJ. Note the jaunty hat.

The JPSP displays their typical honesty.

Timbuktu looks nice.

Still in Timbuktu.

Kitzbuhel is a little picky.
Bye bye, ski ya next season.
