Jay Peak Resort, State Side Base

We had a reservation booked a long time ago. 2 of our sons had gastro the day we were supposed to go. We called to change the dates for a reservation. Since it was last minute, we offered to only be aloud to move the reservation on a not busy weekend. The lady at the reservation showed no empathy and quickly declined. We are very disappointed.

We had a wonderful time and got lucky for the time of year. I wish I could have gave this place 5 stars but I can't. Here are the cons this place is extremely unpredictable. We know they cant control the weather and ancient old equipment. However they have no buisness charging resort staying guests for lift passes, if they can't guarantee you'll be able to ski. Or worse be so busy that youvare waiting hours for lifts that you only get a handful of runs in a day in. I also wouldn't call this place a resort. You are paying for location and location only. The beds at stateside were very uncomfortable and they are still using spring mattresses. Howies was amazing for dinner, the continental in the morning was nasty and was unacceptable for $25 a person. We just had coffee and toast since I paid for the vouchers in advance. If there is a next time we will bring our own breakfast. The hotel staff were great and helpful. There are no pools or any hot tubs for after a long day on the mountain that was a big disappointment for us to find out. There was a hot tub in the water park but no thanks. A ton of babies and toddlers in diapers in 94°water, we'll pass. The water park was cute however extremely small and it was a 4 minute drive Not walking diatnace and cost $33 a person. So it shouldn't be saying you have access. You don't, absolutely fraudulent marketing. If you are visiting during peak season I wouldn't even bother going or buying tickets.. It can be hrs before you are able to get your hands on a tube. And there's no pool to really swim or an adults only section. Finally the opperating hours of this place The whole place shuts down at 5 or 6pm. It be nice if the arcade and movie theater ect was open to offset the slopes or even later in case the weather's bad but nope. We had fun but for the price you could be doing better things in other places.

Best mountain on the east coast, hands down. If you know you know.. If not get up there and get in the glades!

A busy but really nice place to ski. Beginners area is expansive and perfect for those getting started or wanting to take it to the next level. I love Cannon in NH but this is a perfectly large beginner's area. The rest of Jay is solid blues and blacks. Just watch out for when it gets crowded... it will really beat you up.

Nice mountain, but for the price, there is a lack of service for buying tickets and the chairlift should be upgrade. In Quebec the mountain canbe compare with Tremblant and a few other were the chairlifts are way better (faster and more comfortable).
If the price has no importance for you, you will have a good day at Jay peak, but be prepare to wait for chairlift on crowded days.

Great place for family's nice restaurants and great firepits to hang around outside . Walk out from hotel to lifts or to hiking trails. The fireworks were spectacular at newyears

Sadly, very poor conditions for December. Obviously, the resort can't control weather, but they advertise 80% man made snow coverage and although two lifts were open only two trails were open.

Inside, the facilities seemed dirtier than usual too.

Maybe after so many day trips I romanticized staying at JP, but I was very underwhelmed by the experience. The rooms were up-to-date, but the linens were gross. My comforter was ripped in multiple spots, And the towels used in the bathroom needed a good bleaching. One towel looked like it hadn't been cleaned. They ran out of stateside shampoo, Yet nobody asked the hotel down the road for more? I did. Also when mom asked the front desk for more towels we received floor bath mats 🤔 Clips and reels closed the second we arrived Saturday labor day weekend, the ice arena was closed, Leaving the next 2 rainy day activities to the arcade and Waterpark..
