| Comments: |
A dream day for Jay Peak and Big Jay with the sun, spectacular views, and very little wind. Long Trail well-used by skiers and snowshoers from Jay Pass to Jay Peak. Ski trails from Jay summit to start of herd path hard-packed and icy in places. Herd path from fence to Big Jay packed out by skiers. Able to bare boot from Jay Pass all the way to Big Jay. More than 3 ft of fluffy powder. |
