      About this trip

      Custom Backcountry Ski Guiding from  AIARE II- and WFR-certified guides (locals!) 


      Hunt powder in the Jay Range with local guides! 


      Jay Peak receives the most annual snowfall of any resort on the East Coast (and as much as many in the West). Want to get untracked lines, steep chutes, and endless glades? Hire a local certified guide and experience the fastest growing snow sport in New England

      What can I expect?

      Check out this video from the 2016/2017 season


      The intro and second half of the video were almost entirely filmed in the backcountry in and near the Jay Range.


      We can't guarantee snow conditions. But Jay Peak's annual snowfall is enough to produce some of the deepest days we've ever skied.

      A top 10 weekend of the year every year! Despite snow conditions being subpar this year, was still an awesome time. Love being at Jay with a big group of friends -- and you can't get a deal better than this!
      By Tatiana E for Jay Peak Ski + Water Park Weekend: 11th Annual on Mar 12, 2024
      Thanks Tatiana. We can't always get perfect snow like last year but we're glad you and your group bring the stoke every year!

      We had a great time as usual. Been going on this trip for several years, stayed at different condos, but this was the first year at the Village Condos, and they are definitely are favorite and will be planning on booking the same next year!

      Thanks Robert, glad you had a great weekend! We agree - those Slopeside condos are some of the best-located condos in New England.
