Jay, Vermont · Northern Green Mountains
Jay Peak Resort
Jay Peak has two distinct bases in northern Vermont: Stateside and Tramside. The resort combines skiing and snowboarding with indoor activities, but a trip to the Pump House waterpark and a ski-school morning lead to different arrival plans.
- Stateside and Tramside bases
- Stateside ski-school starting point
- Glades and freestyle progression
Terrain and ability at Jay Peak
Jay's mountain includes glades and more demanding routes as well as learning terrain. Chalet Meadows on Stateside has small freestyle features for progression, while The Rusch offers larger intermediate and advanced features. Pick a run and feature size that match the group's experience.
Arrival, bases and lessons
The Ski & Ride School is on Stateside; Tramside contains the tram and Pump House. Check your lesson's exact meeting instructions and the day's lift report. Accommodation packages and activity tickets vary, so verify whether your booking includes the skiing or waterpark access you need.
Plan a meetup at Jay Peak
State Stateside or Tramside first, followed by a named lodge or entrance. Friends staying at Hotel Jay may be arriving from a different side than lesson participants. Set a base reunion for mixed-ability groups, with a separate plan for people doing indoor activities.
Use the meetup message planner to agree on your date, terrain, pace and meeting point.
