Known for receiving the most natural snow in eastern North America—averaging 359 inches annually—Jay Peak has earned its reputation as a powder seeker's destination. The resort combines authentic Vermont charm with world-class skiing and riding across 385 acres of terrain.

The Aerial Tramway, an iconic fixture since 1966, carries skiers and riders to the summit in just 7 minutes, offering spectacular views of Vermont, New York, and Canada along the way.
