Why choose Jay

The Jay Way is an uncommon take. It’s easy to follow but tougher to fake.

It’s seniors and juniors and never before's. It’s powder and puddles and not needing more.

Just do what you say, then say what you do. Your friends might not get it, but that’s ok too. You’re much better looking and much smarter too.

It’s here when you’re ready, this ground you can walk. It doesn’t take luggage but pack some good socks.

Cause when it’s all said, it still isn’t done. You’ll meet uncommon people and have uncommon fun.

It will unfold before you this season, this day. Maybe you’ll join us, it's this way to Jay.

Introducing a Mountain Unlike any other

If you ask a Jay skier or rider what makes this mountain special, they’ll likely tell you about our 359” of annual snowfall, our sweet glade skiing, and our 81 trails and 9 Lifts that offer tons of options for all abilities. Don’t be surprised if you hear mention of the infamous Jay Cloud, a local weather phenomenon that helps ensure a steady supply of the precious white stuff. Stick around long enough, and you might catch wind of local stashes, or the best strategy for keeping the sun in your face all day, or the fact that we’re usually open well into May. But there’s only one thing better than hearing about what makes Jay special: Getting out there and skiing it for yourself.

Covering our Bases. Get to know our different sides.

One of the most important things to know about Jay is that we actually have two base areas: Stateside and Tramside. Not sure which to choose? Truth is, you can’t really go wrong, since both offer tons of amazing terrain, dining options, and ski-in, ski-out lodging. Tramside is home to the Pump House Indoor Waterpark, and (of course) the Tram, while Stateside is where you’ll find the Clips & Reels Climbing Gym and Movie Theater, as well as our Ski & Ride School. Our advice? While you could easily spend a day (or much more) exploring one side or the other, be sure to make time to check ‘em both out.

Stateside Hotel Base Lodge Winter

Stateside

So here you have it. Our redeveloped, if not slightly reimagined, Stateside Hotel and Base Lodge. Where our past is passed. Offered forward to a new generation of Jay Peakers, of Raised Jayers, through stories, personalities, and memories from the local side. A side of sight and smell and sound unique even to a place like Jay Peak.

We’ve added rooms, not suites, a diner, not a restaurant, a gear shop, not a boot’s boutique, and a bar big enough to house part of an actual bus (our first shuttle), a Bullwheel (of T bar fame), and views big enough to look into our future.

If you’re the type who wants to get to and from the action fast, the Stateside Hotel is for you. Comfortable beds, bathrooms, air conditioning, mini-refrigerator, and mountain or valley views. Ski-in ski-out for rates that connect back to an earlier Jay Peak. With access to good food, and drink.

Clips & Reels Recreation Center boasts a 142-seat movie theater (with its own liquor license), a state-of-the-art arcade, pool tables, a sports bar, an indoor horizontal ropes course, and even an indoor climbing gym. Come watch a flick on the big screen, set the new high score on Godzilla pinball, play some pool, and watch a game; Clips & Reels has you covered.

Tramside

Hotel Jay has it all. Studios and suites are equipped with kitchenettes or kitchens, Wi-Fi, HD flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, free guest lockers, and big views of the mountain and valleys, walking distance to our Aerial Tram and Tramside lifts. Oh, and downstairs? The Pump House, our 60,000 sq. ft. indoor waterpark awaits, along with the Foundry Pub and Grille, Elevation 1851' Family Arcade, Buddy's Mug Coffee Shop, and Mountain Dick's Pizzeria. We've even managed to replicate the old Hotel Jay Family Room where you can stretch your legs, watch some TV, and review the day.

The Tram Haus Lodge is all Jay. From the locally crafted materials to the feeling you get when you walk through the porte cochere, there's no other way to describe it. It's been designed to be part of the mountain but also created so the mountain is a part of it. Expertly built with a dedicated team of Vermont craftsmen, the Tram Haus Lodge uses recycled and re-imagined parts and pieces from the mountain and neighboring towns to pay tribute to our illustrious history and heritage. Comfortable, welcoming, and dare we say cozy, our 57-suite hotel offers state-of-the-art facilities, ski-in, and ski-out accommodations, and an array of services designed entirely around two things: skiers and riders. You’ll also have easy access to Alice’s Table Restaurant, The Tower Bar, Aroma Café, and Taiga Spa-just downstairs.

Waterpark FAQ

Towels are available at the waterpark to use free of charge. We also have life jackets available for use for the little ones. Small lockers are available and are best for holding small items such as a phone and wallet. Or, if you'd rather, we have family lockers for larger items or family-sized items. The Wave Surf Shop offers many items such as bathing suits, swim diapers, and goggles in case you forget.

Hours Of Operations

We expect you have much better ways to spend your time while you're here than searching the site for weather, current events, or simple things like restaurant hours. You can quickly access our resort hours by using the clock icon at the top-right of our website or go to jaypeakresort.com/hours to see a full list of activities and amenities you can filter.

Reservations

Avoid wondering about wait times or if a ski lesson has filled up. We suggest making advanced reservations for our restaurants, Ski & Ride School lessons, and climbing at our Clips & Reels Recreation Center.
