WoW!
What an incredible week-end! Jay Peak reported 40in of snow in the past week and of course, i had to hide the bike and bring out the boards! With only a few trails officially open, the glades and woods of Jay seem 'o so tempting!
I met up with my neighbour early in the day... After only a few runs on the groomers, we headed out in Timbuktu while it was still fresh
After a couple of runs with them, i finally met up with Arthur and his friends. So didn't spend much time on the trails even tought the conditions were great, packed powder everywhere... and of course, some loose stuff!
...but we had to get inside the woods so that Arthur can try is new Burton Malolo
Julie had a bit of trouble getting around... maybe she should have taken out the Malolo also!
On Sunday, i decided to look around a bit more around the resort and found lots of virgin lines still... even tough we were late on sunday and all the powder pigs went trough everything!
Christian is sampling the stuff found on stateside... really deep stuff and still plenty of snow to kick around!
Here's a view at the new expension that should start happening next season... Dreaming of a day when Jay will get another hill to ride... 1600ft of vertical (similar to Jet area) and possibly 3 new lifts... And don't worry about the money because on saturday Jay Peak DOUBLED the number of tickets sold compare to the same weekend last year!
NOTE: Skiing and riding in the woods this time of year is really dangerous! With fallen trees and branches you could easily get stabbed! Rocks and stumps are all over the place and not to mention the "not frozen yet" creek! People have to realize that the trails that are closed and generally closed for a reason... Right now there is just not enough snow to handle all the traffic... but since you can see people riding on closed trails on Jay Peak's website, you don't mind posting pictures of yours!
