This will be the biggest strain on the resort for the day. Only the main Tramside Entrance will be open so we can better monitor access to the resort. Our Parking Attendants will be parking cars as efficiently as possible but once we’re full, we’ll be limiting access to the resort. If you plan to be on-site, it will help us all if you carpool. Overnight camping, in tents, campers, or otherwise, is not permitted anywhere at the resort. Please note: you cannot park on Route 242 once our resort lots are full.

As always, parking at Jay Peak is FREE and first-come, first-served.  

We’ve had to adjust our usual operating hours for Monday, April 8th so no one is on the mountain during totality. Knowing there’d be a break in the day, we plan to open early so you can get the most out of your ski/ride day.

• 12:30p - Upper Mountain lifts close for the day.

• Learn about eclipse science at Clips & Reels from Meteorologist and Science Educator Christopher Kurdek. Chris has always had a passion for math, science, and investing in the community around him. He also enjoys sharing his science knowledge to younger generations, making for a more livable and sustainable future. In the fall of 2018, he joined the Fairbanks Museum as an "Eye on the Sky" meteorologist and science educator. Currently, Chris is also a part-time professor of Atmosphere Sciences at Northern Vermont University - Lyndon. Chris' presentation starts at 4pm in Clips & Reels at the Stateside Base.
• Pink Talking Fish will perform a fusion of Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish live from the Foeger Ballroom. Doors: 7:30p with the music starting at 8:00p - THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT

• All lift service for skiing and snowboarding will start at 730a with the upper mountain closing at 1230p and the lower mountain closing at 2p, for fairly obvious reasons.
• The Tram will begin operations for the day at 1230p to bring folks to the summit. Limit of 120 people, $40pp. - THIS IS SOLD OUT
• The eclipse as a whole (see what we did there?) will last from around 2:15p until 4:35p, with totality between 3:26p - 3:31p. Totality means it will be completely dark and the air temp will drop as much as 10 degrees. It won't last long, but it'll be a time to remember.

Pink Talking Fish to perform Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album in its entirety; outdoors at the Tramside base leading up to totality, playing from around 2:30p - 3:15p. Exceptional visuals by Heavy Light VT will accompany the concert on a video wall.
