All reservations at Jay Peak Resort require a valid Credit Card upon check-in for a $50 per day incidentals authorization. Authorizations will be released within 48 hours of departure. We recommend using a Credit Card, not a Debit Card. If a Debit Card is used, we cannot guarantee a timely release of the authorization as this is controlled by the issuing bank.

DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS FOR CANADIANS
All credit card transactions are charged in US funds so when your 50% deposit is taken on your CDN credit card, it will be automatically converted from US to CDN at whatever rate your credit card company is using. The remaining 50% balance can be paid at par, on check-in by certified check, money order, or travelers checks. Cash and personal checks are not accepted. All Credit Cards are processed in US funds; there will be no exchange rate adjustments if paying by credit card.

Service Animals
Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. Generally, service animals can only be dogs (or, under very rare circumstances, miniature horses). Service Animals shall be under the control of their handlers at all times. Unless the handler is unable to do so, or the use of such device interferes with the safe, effective function of the animal’s duties, Service Animals shall be on harness, leash, bridle or other type of tether at all times, in public areas. Where this is not possible due to one of the aforementioned conditions the Service Animal shall be under the handler’s control through other means (e.g. voice commands, hand signals).
Any disabled guest who is assisted by a Service Animal shall have access to all public areas of the resort. In the interests of safety, Service Animals shall not be permitted on ski lifts, as there is no means to evacuate them safely should the lift stop. The resort may, at its discretion, offer alternative transportation should it be absolutely required. Resort personnel may ask for the removal of a Service Animal from public areas if the handler is unable to maintain control of the animal, if the animal’s behavior is deemed dangerous, or if the animal is not properly housebroken. Reasonable effort will be taken by the resort to facilitate the disabled guest’s participation in resort activities, in the instance a Service Animal is removed for cause.
A guest with a disability who uses a Service Animal shall be provided the same opportunity to reserve any available room at the hotel as other guests without disabilities. Hotel guests are not allowed to leave their service animals in their hotel room when they leave the hotel. The dog must be under the handler’s control at all times.

DRONE POLICY
Out of safety concerns for guests, employees, and resort property, as well as concerns for individual privacy, Jay Peak Inc. prohibits the operation or use of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, by the general public – including recreational users and hobbyists – without the prior written authorization from Jay Peak Inc. This prohibition includes drones used for filming or videotaping, as well as any drone use by media or journalists operating above or within Jay Peak Resort’s boundaries. This prohibition on drone operations or use extends to any drones launched or operated from Jay Peak Inc. property, as well as drones launched from private property outside of the Resort boundaries. Please contact Tom Howell at thowell@jaypeakresort.com if you have any questions or if you seek prior authorization to operate any aerial drones.
Any authorized operation of aerial drones may be governed by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, local law enforcement, and/or U.S. Forest Service rules, as well as those policies separately established by Jay Peak Inc., which may include certification, training, insurance coverage, indemnification requirements, and waivers or releases of liability. Any violation of this policy may involve suspension of your skiing or snowboarding privileges, or the revocation of your season pass, as well as confiscation of any drone equipment, and may subject violators to any damages, including, but not limited to, damages for violations of privacy and/or physical or personal injuries or property damage, as well as regulatory fines and legal fees.
SNOWMOBILES
Public use of snowmobiles is prohibited on Jay Peak Resort property and ski trails at all times. Any violations of these rules may result in the suspension of lift privileges or prosecution for a criminal offense.
SLEDDING POLICY
Sledding or tobogganing can be a fun winter pastime, but this activity is not appropriate on our ski slopes and trails as they aren’t designed for this activity. Sledding on ski slopes and trails can be hazardous due to:
- The steepness of the slope.
- The firmness of the snow.
- The presence of skiers and snowboarders.
- The presence of vehicles, such as snowmobiles and snow grooming equipment.
- The presence of obstacles such as trees, fences, buildings, snowmaking equipment, and lift towers and limited or inadequate run-out to slow or stop the sleds.
Sledding on the trails or within the Jay Peak Resort property, including but not limited to Racoon Run and Grammy Jay, is not permitted by homeowners or guests. This also includes walkways, driveways, roads, and any snow-covered area. This applies to any type of device that can be used for sledding including, but not limited to, sleds, toboggans, tubes or saucers, and other devices such as shovels, pads, or trays.
Due to the hazards and risks noted above, Jay Peak Resort wants to reinforce the message of No Sledding on Ski Slopes. Any violations of these rules may result in suspension of lift privileges or prosecution for a criminal offense.
